AT THE FARRAGUT STATUE
ROBERT BRIDGES
[Sidenote: 1801, 1870]
_Farragut's statue by Saint Gaudens was
unveiled
in New York in
1881_
To live a hero, then to stand
In bronze serene above the city's throng;
Hero at sea, and now on land
Revered by thousands as they rush along;
If these were all the gifts of fame--
To be a shade amid alert reality,
And win a statue and a name--
How cold and cheerless immortality!
