God give US men. time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith. and ready hands
Men whom the lust of Office does kill:
Men whom the spos Of Office cannot buy
Zen who possess opinion and a will
Men ,cto hare honor-men tnho ,ciu not lie;
Men who stand before a demagogue,
And damn his treacherous batteries without winking
Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog

Minge in selfish strife, 10 Freedom weeps-
Wrong rules the land, and waiting justice sleeps.
