Emblem Broomcorn. 
Sentiment .... Industry. 
Broomcorn the emblem of industry rare 
Has modesty’s mien, and a busy air ; 
What art thou doing, young Deborah, say ? 
Sweeping the cobwebs of error away ? 
Kemoving the dust from thy busy brain ? 
Dismissing Dolly with her silly train ? 
No idle intruders must tarry here now ; 
I plainly can see by the frown on thy brow. 
Aye ! sweep away, maiden, then shalt thou see, 
How a beautiful soul of purity, 
Can overcome error, and falsehood, too, 
By loving only the good and the true. 
Pure thoughts and sweet fancies shall dwell with 
thee ; 
Thy mind shall ever be noble and free ; 
If thou ’It search for truth, and its rich fruits glean, — 
Sweep away, Deborah ! make thy heart clean.
