On lfe's great moving canvas we have seen
A noble form, as II prince OF grace

To show the pattern OF knightly race
With steadfast, earnest eyes and brow serene
In battles din triumphant high he rod'
With head erect and face 10 front the foe'
Defeated. turned 10 meet his countrys need
And SOW the seeds OF love that peace might
grow
Then went in smiling cslmness back TO God

And congregate the world around it's base;
Then let them cry aloud and. laundering

The deods of heroes, who. for gift or grace
Have carved their names in Hoaors temple

Above the roaring of the human sea,
A voice shall cut the air with cadence ciear'
And by the thrilling magic OF its words,
Shall still the nations, while they stahu W
