“Sing, o sing, not of empty glory -
write anew a human story.

Not land of the free in word alone,
make humanity our only throne.”

“Sing songs that none have sung, think thoughts that ne'er in the brain have rung,
Walk in paths that none have trod, weep tears as none have shed for God,

Love all with love that none have felt and
Brave the battle of life with strength unchained.”

O, Voice of Man, organ of most lovely might.”
