Full many a weary league Of hunger, thirst, and pain Our brave explorer trod, And traversed o'er again, Before he reached the goal, And cooled his burning brow, And stayed his halting steps Where the northern waters flow.
Grim silence reigned supreme, Save alligator's plash, Or sea-mew's shrilly scream, Or ocean's restless dash; Yet flashed that leader's eye, And triumph filled his soul As he heard the bird's discordant cry, And saw the waters roll.
Methinks t'were worth a life To stand as there he stood- Forerunner of a dauntless race, Proud rulers of the flood. Across the desert waste He hears their hurrying feet; He sees the flashing wires That mighty empires greet.
His dream is all fulfilled, Responsive echoes ring Around the circling earth, Sped on the lightning's wing. And what hath he? - a distant grave; Unblazoned is his name; And what have we? - a beaten path To honour, wealth, and fame.
