Men OF honest thought and deed;
Who Will shame your weak-kneed
sloth,
Then--a plague o. both your housesl-
We have had enough OF both.
We are coming, We, the young men.
Strong OF heart and millions strong;
We shall work where you nave trifled.
Cleanse the Temple right the wrong,
Till the land our fathers visioned
Shall be spread before our ken,
We are through with politicians!
