Show THE ARCHITECT. Oh, famous acd fine la the rare arrhltout Who rc-cla not of labor or cost, Whoso building3 with jewels and silver ur decked, Where never a beanty is lost. In Bilenco works he through the day and tb night, Nor bound of a hammer i3 heard. Pagodas and palaces, gleaming with light, Arise at his beck or his word! In country or town, on the meadow or hill, Ho chooses and uses a site. Ho law doth ho own but tha law of his will, And nono as& darj question his right. .Unwearied by thru and undaunted by foe, TJn4rammeIed by fear or command, fl builds for all people, tho high and tho la 'yith patient and provident hand. The castlo and cottage alike he'll adorn. Nor meanest of things doth disdain. Tiw peasant sleeps sweetly and flnda In th morn A palaco on his window pan. $h, famous and fine is this architect rare, Who recks not of labor or cost, Who builds gorgeous mansions and yet has U spare, 139 Mnjt of all builders, Jack FrostI Zltel'g Cocke in Youth's Companion |
