THE TEST
BY JOHN BROWN JEWETT

VI lilC SlSIlaHtSos
This is your crisis, this your hour;
Earth's oceans and its shores
Hold but one place of portent power
One duty-it is yours.
Think not to hide amid the crowd
That covers land and sea;
The voice of Fate is calling loud;
"Look to him, world--'tis he!'
Yes, you-no other. None are born
To do what you must do;
No beaten captain waits such scorn
For failure, as must you.
1t is the test, the fine one;-
Shall king or people reign?
Who are the people? There are none
If one is called in vain.
On you the sorrow, blood and cost,
The glory or the shame.
If freedoms cause today is lost,
You only are to blame.
