For many smiths will strike thee ringing blows,

Conspire to bring thy honored head to shame.
Stand like the armament, upholden

Invisible support is mightier far,
With noble aims, than walls of granite are;
And simple Consciousness of justice, gives
Strength to a purpose while that purpose lives.
Stand Ike the rock that looks defiant
Far DER the surging seas that lash It's form!
Composed, determined, watchiul, self-reliant,

And thou shalt soon behold the bow of peace

And see the pillows, with the clouds that meet,
Subdued and calm, come crouching to thy feet.
