Oakes Ames Oakes Ames, remember thee
Aye that we will for years
For broken flames and saddened names,
And wrotchedness and tears.
These, gathering around the monument
That svcophancy claims,
Shall make the coming Statesman shun
The memory of Oakss Ames.
Oakes Ames, Oakes Ames, remember thee
Forget thyself soon,
Who traded in the souls of men
And named the deed boon
Who called the censure of the world
To echo its acclaims,
And to generous nations gift
Affixed thy name, Oakes Amss.
Oskes Alnes, Oakes Ames, remember thee
We must, though we repine
To see our broad and green domain
Purloined by thee and thine
To see endowed with public gold
Spared from the nations flames,
The fertile empires bribed away
By henchInen of Oakss Ames.
OalIos Ames, Oakes Ames, remember thee
Thank God we will, for more!
For public conscience born again
And purposes as of yOre.
No party lines our ranks divide,
The common fear inhames
Not one more rood of public land
On pleas like thine, Oakss Amos
Oakes Ames, Oakes Ames, remember thee
Aye, as some nightmare dream
That Numbered through the Statesman's
sleep,
In guise of gold and steam,
And drowned the homestead-farmer's cry,
And crushed the poor mans claims,
And in its wake left ruined dupes
To live and wall, ''Oakes Ames -
