Has not this guerdon for all time sufficed—
That thou shouldst wear upon thy haggard head
The awful honor of the Crown of Christ?
THE CREED OF AN AMERICAN
In God our Father, and in all men’s Sonship;
In Brother-love and breaking down of barriers;
In Law that is the just will of the People
Shaped, and still shaping, to the People’s need;
In equal Freedom and in equal Service,
Duties and Rights: in all these I believe.
