GUGLIELMO MARCONI
Earth marvels yet! What height his rapture when
He caught C Q sent through infinite space,
Which drew him from this multitude of men!
Did he who conquered ether-silence-trace
Immeasurable orbits, planet-known,
To give his answer somewhere, face to face?
He was a gracious gift, who had been shown
In part the hidden, purposefully led
To hasten brotherhood into its own.
Mind God-endowed, by the Creator fed,
That he might date an era which God sieves
Anomoly of gentleness high-bred.
In lands where lust breeds war-a thought that lives
In every S 0 S that mankind gives.
