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
