YE white maned waves of the Western Sea	A
That ride and roll to the strand	B
Ye strong winged birds never forced a lee	A
By the gales that sweep toward land	B
Ye are symbols of death and of hope that saves	C
As ye swoop in your strength and grace	D
As ye roll to the land like the billowed graves	C
Of a past and puerile race	D
	-
Cry 'Presto change ' and the lout is lord	E
With his vulgar blood turned blue	F
Go dub your knight with a slap of a sword	E
As the kings in Europe do	F
Go grade the lines of your social mode	G
As you grade the palace wall	H
The people forever to bear the load	G
And the gilded vanes o'er all	H
	-
But the human blocks will not lie as still	I
As the dull foundation stones	J
But will rise like a sea with an awful will	I
And ingulf the golden thrones	J
For the days are gone when a special race	J
Took the place of the gilded vane	K
And the merit that mounts to the highest place	J
Must have bone and sinew and brain	K
	-
Let the cant of ' the march of mind ' be heard	L
Of the time to come when man	M
Shall lose the mark of his brawn and beard	N
In the future's leveling plan	M
'Tis the dream of a mind effeminate	O
The whine for an easy crown	P
There is no meed for the good and great	Q
In the weakling's leveling down	P
	-
A nation's boast is a nation's bone	R
As well as its might of mind	S
And the culture of either of these alone	R
Is the doom of a nation signed	S
But the cant of the ultra suasion school	T
Unsinews the hand and thigh	U
And preaches the creed of the weak to rule	T
And the strong to struggle and die	U
	-
Our schools are spurred to the fatal race	J
As if health were the nation's sin	V
Till the head grows large and the vampire face	J
Is gorged on the limbs so thin	V
Our women have entered the abstract fields	J
And avaunt with the child and home	W
While the rind of science a pleasure yields	J
Shall they care for the lives to come	X
And they ape the manners of manly times	J
In their sterile and worthless life	Y
Till the man of the future augments his crimes	J
With a raid for a Sabine wife	Y
	-
Ho white maned waves of the Western Sea	J
That ride and roll to the strand	B
Ho strong winged birds never blown a lee	J
By the gales that sweep toward land	B
Ye are symbols both of a hope that saves	J
As ye swoop in your strength and grace	J
As ye roll to the land like the billowed graves	J
Of a suicidal race	J
Ye have hoarded your strength in equal parts	J
For the men of the future reign	K
Must have faithful souls and kindly hearts	J
And bone and sinew and brain	K
