GIVE US MEN!


God, give us men! A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands;

Men whom the lust of office does not kill;

Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will;

Men who have honor; Men who will not lie;
Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking;

Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking;

For while the rabble, with their thumb-worn creeds;
Their large professions and their little deeds;
Mingle in selfish strife, lo! Freedom weeps;
Wrong rules the land and waiting justice sleeps.
