SAVANTISM

THITHER, as I look, I see each result and glory re-
     tracing itself and nestling close, always obli-
     gated;
Thither hours, months, years — thither trades, com-
     pacts, establishments, even the most minute,
Thither every-day life, speech, utensils, politics, per-
     sons, estates,
Thither we also, I with my leaves and songs, trustful,
     admirant,
As a father, to his father going, takes his children
     along with him.
