Who, having filled their day with chivalry,

Withdraw, and keep their simpleness intact,

And all unconscious add more lustre yet

Unto their victory.

“On the broad Kansas plain,

Their patriarchal life they live anew—

Hunters as mighty as the men of old;

Or harvesting the plenteous yellow grains,

Gathering ripe vintage of dusk branches blue,

Or working mines of gold.
