Excerpt from Life at a Northern University

Old Aberdeen

I stood on the bridge at midnight
As the clocks were striking the hour.

- Longfellow.

Unchanged, yet changing! Fifty years have fled
And left but little of the scene he drew
When, in the long past days that now are sped,
In silent, drowsy streets the green grass grew,
Here still the river wanders to the view,
The ear yet catches echoes that are lent
Of breaking surf upon the bar, and new
With old familiar memories are blent,
As now, 'twixt twelve and one, the north wind tears the bent.

He trod the streets of strangers: but to me
Scenes that are brightest then abide so still;
Change if on every side around I see,
To-night, in dreaming fancy, I can fill
The scene again, and recreate at will
That older day the heart far lovelier feels,
Of lowing kine in lanes, of flowers, until
I catch - ere came trams, motors, cycles, wheels -
Your lilacs all in bloom and far-flung Marechal Niels.
