ENGRAVEN IN OUR MEMORY,
Although the Writer ofBeaatlfal Will
amette" 11 aft Passed Away.
Sam Simpson, Oregon's poet who died
Portland Wednesday, endeared him
self to every Oregonian by that- poem
which every echool boy and girl, who
had their first reading lessons from the
Pacific Coast series- of reader?, has in
delibly engraven on their minds.' When
ever Simpson's name has been men
tioned daring bis life our minds would
m mediately revert to those lines, "On
ward ever, lovely river, softly calling to
the sea;" and now that the soul that
conceived them has left its tenement of
clay, eo often as these beautiful thoughts
are rehearsed by those who love them
will Oregonians remember their author
n kindliest, t noughts :
From the Cascade's frozen gorges,
Leiiping like a child at play.
Winding, widening through the valley,
Bright Willamette glides away;
- Onward ever,
Lovely river.
Softly callinfr to the sea;
Time that scars us,
Maims and mars us,
Leaves no track or trace on thee!
SprlDg's green witchery Is weaving
Braid and border for thy side.
Grace forever haunts thy journey,
Beauty dimples on thy tide.
Through the purple gates of morning,
Now thy roseate ripples dance;
Golden, then, when day. departing,
Ou thy waters trails his lance;
Waltzing, flashing,
1 Tinkling, plashing,
Limpid, volatile and free
Always hurried
To be buried
In the bitter, moon-mad sea. -
In thy crystal deeps, inverted,
Swings a picture of the sky.
Like those wavering hopes of Aiderin
Dimly In our dreams that lie; ,
Clouded often, drowned in turmoil,
Faint and lovely, far away
Wreathing sunshine on ttie morrow,
Breathing fragrance round today.
Love could wander
Here, and ponder
Hither poetry would dream;
Lire's old questions,
Sad suggestions,
'Whence and wliither?" throng thy
stream. .
On the roaring waste of ocean ,
Soon thy scattered waves shall toss;
'Mid the surges' rhythmic thunder
Shall thy silver tongues be lost.
Ob, thy glimmering rush of gladness
Mocks this turbid life of mine, , .
Racing to the wild Forever,
Down the sloping paths of time
Onward ever,
Lovely river.
Softly calling to the sea; -Time
t hat scars us,
'Maims and mars us,
Leaves iu track or trace on thee!
