"A lot like it, only this place is

BertOn BraleyS Daily Poem
.MeREFORMERS

Its gates are neaVy, ana Inlck us wall,
It's guards are many and great of thew,
While we who batter the gates are few.
f.
The fortress of Mammon has frowning guns
And deep and wide is the moat that
About its edges, yet none the less
We are not awed by its mightiness.
&-NE
The fortress of MammOn is ringed about
With bristling trenches and barriers stout,
Yet ever we to a fresh attack
And ever our forces are beaten back
&ET
But the dead we leave not dead in vain,
For where their blood leaves a crimson stain
Shall stand their brothers all unafraid :
To take up gladly the fight they made.
The warders of Mammon paid with gold
And well and bravely their posts they hold
But the spirit of man that is clean and high
Shall wholly conquer them, bye and bye.
In spite of treason in spite of loss,
OF great guns, frownng the walls across,
The fortress of Mammon weaker grows
Beneath the hail of our ceaseless blows.
We shall not shatter its walls today,
Our generation shall pass away,
Sons of our sons ranks shall fill
While the fortress of Mammon stands there STILL
Hut the fight were making shall never cease
And the camp of Mammon shall not know peace
I'LL the breach is made in the towering wall
And the fortress of Mammon at length shall fall!
