Amin the darkness and the stress,
With pitiful world -weariness:
They who have yearned TO stand
among
The free and mighty of the earth,
Whose sad. aspiring souls are wrung
With starless hope and hollow mirth
Who die with every day, yet live
Through merciless, unbrightened
years.
Whose sweetest right is TO forgive
And smile divinely through their
tears;
They are the noble. they the strong.
They are the tried, the trusted ones.
And though their way is hard and
long
Straight 10 the plying God it runs.
