He stands a simple soldier. there.
Who deemed life too small a fee
For him to give in that great strife
That made his country free
And it is free! High DER the din
And turmoil of the citys ways.
10. Justice holds her sword and scales
Above the land she sways.
The commerce of a giant world
Moves his feet. Within his reach
The tongues of nations meet: the air
Is vibrant with their speech.
He sees where science delves and wrests
The rock ribs of the earth apart,
And fills. with teeming floods of life,
The arteries of her heart
In sober garb and quiet mien
He stands; from out the western skies,
Athwart the calmness of his face
The peaceful sunshine lies
And while our land endures to reap
His sowing, memory shall not fail
OF him who died that she might live
The patriot, Nathan Hale!
