EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY, MARCH, 1916 11 ison Club, February 5, 1916 Mr. Edison arrived. Everyone of zations attended this banquet. recited a poem of his own composition dedicated to Mr. Edison on the occasion of his 69th birthday, which reads: Since God broke chaos into light And flung the stars upon the night And set the wonder of the day Upon its high celestial way, A myriad million human eyes Have seen by the illumined skies; Yet but one man of all the train Possessed the Edisonian brain — But one could strike the magic spark To smite the night — turn off the dark. In all of time since entered Man Upon the macrocosmic plan — In all the heaven-drift and flight Of stars that constellate the night And join the world-reel with our sun, The Edisons are numbered one. Upon the way where morning goes, And dewdrops diadem the rose And pave the pathway of the clod, Where genius walks alone with God — One man with God possessed the might To call and bring the answer — Light.
