Read-Sweet-how others-strove-
Till we-are stouter-
What they-renounced-
Till we-are less afraid-
How many times they-bore the faithful witness-
Till we-are helped-
As if a Kingdom-cared!

Read then-of faith-
That shone above the fagot-
Clear strains of Hymn
The River could not drown-
Brave names of Men-
And Celestial Women-
Passed out-of Record
Into-Renown!
