LONG, LONG HENCE.
AFTER a long, long course, hundreds of years, denials,
Accumulations, rous'd love and joy and thought,
Hopes, wishes, aspirations, ponderings, victories, myriads of
readers,
Coating, compassing, covering—after ages' and ages' encrus-
tations,
Then only may these songs reach fruition.
