The future holds for him the fullest meed,
For best of deeds before he fell a prey,
The patient man, still prophet of the perfect day,
When none shall be a slave;
And none in need.
American,
And cosmopolitan,
He made and mounted the on-sweeping wave.
No ruler with so good and vast a scheme;
In labors so engrossed for noblest creed—
A wide and warring world to win and save,
Fulfillment of the greatest dream,
To give the nations peace and prosperity supreme.
