\/\ /\/\ /\/| / | And frequently he gestured with his hand
/_ _\/_ _\ \ / \ His eyes aglow with visions gone before
\/ \/ | \ / | That by his telling came to life once more.

\_ / Held spellbound those who often came to hear.
| \ Through time-trancending vision they would see
\ | The landmarks their forefathers knew to be.
