Our God. Let haughty rulers learn that men

Of humblest birth and lowliest lot have

Rights as sacred and divine as theirs, and they

Who fence in leagues of earth by bonds and claims

And title deeds, forgetting land and water,

Air and light are God’s own gifts and heritage

For man—who throw their selfish lives between

God’s sunshine and the shivering poor—

Have never learned the wondrous depth, nor scaled

The glorious height of this great central truth,
