That they must sometimes run with her alone.

God will not suffer any word to fail

That is not uttered for the hour’s success:

No word that has in it the power to bless

Shall lack the means to make it of avail.

Who speaks the people’s weal shall some day find

Voices to bear it to the people’s will.

However potent be the present ill

They who assail it are to-morrow’s kind.

And that to-morrow shall uphold their cause
