And sallies forth to help in hour of need;
Nor dreads the battle's shock.
The artisan from mine, or shop, or store,
Responds at duty's call without delay,
Nor stops to ask, "What will my nation pay?"
It calls—what needs he more?
The man of law—the herald of the cross—
The painter, skilled—he of the healing art—
The man of trade—come each with loyal heart,
Nor calculates his loss.
