Volume VII. Descriptive: Narrative.  1904.
 
Descriptive Poems: I. Personal: Rulers; Statesmen; Warriors
George Washington

BY broad Potomac’s silent shore
  Better than Trajan lowly lies,
  Gilding her green declivities
With glory now and evermore;
  Art to his fame no aid hath lent;        5
  His country is his monument.
