Excerpt from The Pilgrim Land: From Plymouth to Provincetown in Pastel Born of the sea, and the spume of its wash; bred to the wind, and the wild bird's cry; its secret is murmur of wave to pine; its song is the song of the warm blue sky! When the glaciers went over, and the clay with the rocks went under; storms leaped the ridges, and cut the contours; and life began with the heaped up sand! Between the bay and the ocean, burning winds, for ages, have signed the sun's signature upon marsh and bog, scrubland and forest! The shore birds nest the grasses, Peewits and sandpipers Flit the salt edges; Bittern and shelldrake Follow the creeks To the ponds and plashes! A land of homing; the homing of sea winds and wild wings! The homing of color and music, of bird song and sunshine and sunsets! The homing of star faith, of moon myths and legends; The homing of happiness; human illusions and memories! A voice sings to the morning its far off paean of conquest, And chants to the evening its solemn cadence of rest!
