HOW ARD WERT No 318 - Columbia's Emblem By Edna D«an Procter Blaron Columbia's emblem The bounteous, goldeu corn! Eons ago. of the great sun's glow And the joy of earth, 'twas born. From Superior's shore to Chile. From the ocean of dawn to the «est. With its banners of green and silken sheen It sprang at the sun's behest; And by dew aud shower, from its natal hour. With honey and wine 'twas fed. Till 011 slope and plain the gods were gain To share the feast outspread: For the rarest boon to the land they loved Was the corn so rich and fair. Nor star nor broer.e o'er the farthest seas t ould find its like elsewhere. In their holiest temples the Incas Offered the heaven sent maize— Grains wrought of gold, in a silver fold, For the sun's enraptured gaze; And its harvest came to the wandering tribes As the gods' own gift and seal.
