The Message of Fulton
( ACROSTIC READ AT THE LAUNCHING OF THE NEW " CLERMONT, " JULY 10, 1909)
River of Plenty and the Peace of God —
Of all His streams the chosen since His feet
By thy round cliffs our new-world beauty trod —
(Eldest of all our soil His face to greet:)
Rejoice anew, O River of the Heart,
To have in human glory such a part!
From out the heights of Fame's diviner air
Unto his kind this message and this call:
Labor is Happiness and Hope and Prayer;
There is no Progress but the good of all;
Of every bondage Love is the release,
Nor less with Time God's Plenty and His Peace.
