Backbone.

When you see fellow mortal
Without fixed and fearless Views,
hanging on the skirts of others,
Walking in their cast-off shoes,
lowing low to wealth or favor,
With object, uncovered head,
Ready TO retract or waver.
Willing to be drove or led;
Walk yourself with nrmer bearing,
Throw your moral shoulders back,
show your spine has nerve and marrow
just the thing which his must lack.
A stronger word
Was never heard
In sense and tone,
Than this, backbone.
When you see n theologlan
llugging close some ugly creed,
Fearing 10 reject or question
DOgmas which his priest may read,
Holding back all noble fee ling,
Choking down each manly view,
Caring more for forms and symb OILS
Than TO know the Good and True;
Walk yourself with firmer bearing,
Throw your moral shoulders back.
show your spine has nerve and marrow
just the thing which his must lack.
A stronger word
Was never heard
In sense and tone,
Than this, backbone.
When you see q politician
Crawling through contracted holes,
Begging for some fat position,
In the ring or at the polls,
With no sterling manhood In him,
Nothing stable, broad or sound,
Destitute of pluck or ballast,
Double-sided all around;
Walk yourself with flrmer bearing,
Throw your moral shoulders back,
show your spine has nerve and MARI
Just the thing which his must lack,
A stronger word
Was never heard
In sense and tone,
Than this, backbone.
A modest song and plainly told
The text Is worth n mine of gold
For many men most sadly lack
A noble Stiffness in the back.
