'The Man of the Nation' | A |
- | |
YONDER the band is playing | B |
And the fine Young People walk | C |
They are envying each other and talking | B |
Their pretty empty talk | C |
There in the shade on the outskirts | D |
Stretched on the grass I see | A |
A Man with a slouch hat smoking | B |
That is the Man for me | A |
That is the Man of the Nation | A |
He works and much endures | E |
When all the rest is rotten | A |
He rises and cuts and cures | E |
He's the soldier of the Crimea | F |
Fighting to honour fools | G |
He's the grappler and strangler of Lee | A |
Lord of the terrible tools | G |
He's in all the conquered nations | H |
That have won their own at last | I |
And in all that yet shall win it | J |
And the World by him goes past | I |
O strong sly World this nameless | K |
Still much enduring Man | A |
Is the Hand of God that shall clutch you | L |
For all you have done or can | A |
