Sage of the silver penA
Wherever thy thought was heardB
Thou wert a leader of menA
Poet of honored wordB
Knight of the eagle glanceC
Piercing the depths of wrongD
Justice thy cry and thy lanceC
True in its aim and strongD
-
Man of the ruddy heartE
Beating warm for our kindF
Thine was the hero's partE
Eyes wert thou to the blindF
Thou a staff to the weakG
Here we our tribute layH
Homage thou didst not seekG
Twined with a wreath of bayH
A garland woven of loveI
Woven of love and tearsJ
Pure as the note of a doveI
Voicing thy peaceful yearsK
