With granite, once a genius bridged a stream.A builder once a rugged temple wrought;On canvas once a painter fixed a thought;A sculptor once in marble carved a dream;A queen once built a tomb, and in the schemeOf gold and bronze the quivering sunbeams caught;Then came oblivion, unseen, unsought,Contemptuous of thinker and of theme.And some one wrote a book. Palace and HallAre gone. Marble and bronze are dust. The fanesAre fallen which the sun old sought. The rookAt morn, caws garrulously over all.All! All are gone. The book alone remains.Man builds no structure which outlives a book.By HON E. F. WARELate U. S. Pension Commissioner

With granite, once a genius bridged a stream.

A builder once a rugged temple wrought;

On canvas once a painter fixed a thought;

A sculptor once in marble carved a dream;

A queen once built a tomb, and in the scheme

Of gold and bronze the quivering sunbeams caught;

Then came oblivion, unseen, unsought,

Contemptuous of thinker and of theme.

And some one wrote a book. Palace and HallAre gone. Marble and bronze are dust. The fanesAre fallen which the sun old sought. The rookAt morn, caws garrulously over all.All! All are gone. The book alone remains.Man builds no structure which outlives a book.

And some one wrote a book. Palace and Hall

Are gone. Marble and bronze are dust. The fanes

Are fallen which the sun old sought. The rook

At morn, caws garrulously over all.

All! All are gone. The book alone remains.

Man builds no structure which outlives a book.
