THE MANLY MAN

The world has room for the manly
man, with the spirit of manly
cheer;
The world delights in the man who
smiles when his eyes keep back
the tear;
1t loves the man who when things go
wrong, can take his place and
stand
With his face to the fight and his eyes
to the light. and toll with will
ing hand;
The manly man is the country's need,
and the moments need for
sooth,
With heart that beats to the pulsing
tread of the lillied leagues Of
truth;
The world is his and waits for him,
and leaps to hear the ring
OF the blow he strikes and the wheels
he turns and the hammer he
dares to swing;
1t takes the forward look in his face,
and the poise of his noble head.
And the onward lunge of his tireless
will and the sweep of his
dauntless tread!
Hurrah for the manly man who comes
with sunlight in his face,
And the strength to do and the will
to dare and the courage to find
his place!
The world delights in the manly man
and the weak and evil flee
When the manly man goes forth to
hold his own on land and sea,
