    Blueprints
    by Berton Braley

    These are the charts of dreams that shall come true,
        These are the plans from which there shall arise
    Towers that lift their heads against the skies,
        Ships for wide seas, and planes to ride the blue.
    Floods shall obey, tunnels be driven through
        Eternal rock, the wilderness that lies
    Unpeopled, shall awake to high emprise,
        And all the world shall be made over new.

    Under the magic guidance of these charts,
        Marking in lines and figures what the brain
    Of man conceived. They are a mystic key
        To unimagined riches, lovelier arts,
    To hopes we seek and goals we shall attain,
        These blueprint epics of the days to be!
