The trust that, bat-eyed, comes out at night-fall,

Now moves the tracks inside his private wall,

Claiming all trains from God a debt long owed.

O heart and brain, it rest with you, how long

The legislative wreckers shall prevail.

Ye have the power to balk them. Why then, fail?

Regain your legislatures. Man them strong

And drive thence all sleek hounds, trust-trained to trail

Safe outlaws' paths to fastnesses of wrong.
