Excerpt from Panama and Other Poems: Narrative and Occasional Panama An Appeal to America Suggested by the "Dirge" of Robert Underwood Johnson in the New York "Times," September 8, 1912. Palter not, sons of Washington, for gold, Nor see the Fane of dreaming Darien sold! The imagined site of universal peace, O be this let but on a spacious lease; This destined bridge of ultimate embrace For nations, be of grandeur and of grace! Nor let that slow-reared Splendour stand suspect Or by a rankling littleness be flecked. That vast conception ye have bought too dear, The dream magnificent have brought too near; Vision, for which two peoples strove as one, Until it leapt incorporate to stone! Those bases were too broadly, deeply laid, To be an argument for discord made. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
