Earth's Greatest Voice.
(By Elizabeth Powers a1errill)
Greater than the voice of nations, Of
American or France,
OF Italia, England. Serbia. welding
freenom'S glorious lance,
Greater than the voice from tropics or
the northern ice bound sea
Is the voice that rings forever.
Voice of All Humanity.
Voice that sounded through the ages
above Babylons and Tyres,
That thrilled both the slave and free
man and arose from home built
fires.
Voice that led the knights to battle in
the days that used to be:
And cries out in peace and Warfare,-
Voice of All Humanity!
Voice that comes from hut and palace
through the spoken word and pen,
Leaps from heart OF saint and sinner
and the myriad souls Of men.
Voice from lips of broken hearted. life 3
unending pteous plea.
Just cry for help and mercy
Voice of All Humanity.
Voice of martyrs ever calling down the
lnartyrdom of life,
Asking earth for JOY, and freedom from
amending days of strife.
Voice that cries for greater justice and
the truth that makes men free:
Voice that asks for love. compassion:
Voice of All humanity
Deeper than the voice Of nations asking
better things for all
Is the voice of all the ages through the
lengthening days that fail.
Voice that's calling. calling. calling.
down the centuries that shall be.
Calling for the vision splendid.
Voice of All humanity.
