"Speak thou the Truth. Let others fence,
And trim their, words for pay;
In pleasant sunshine of pretence
Let others bask their day.

Guard thou the Fact: though clouds of night
Down on thy watch-tower stoop;
Though thou shoulds't see thine heart's delight
Borne from thee by their swoop.

Face thou the Wind. Though safer seem
In shelter to abide,
We were not made to sit and dream;
The safe must first be tried."
