Whose hearts beat with ours, who know what we feel—

The labouring masses who grind at the wheel.

And men who are staunch to the cause they profess,

Who will grapple each task to relieve our distress,

Who can write on their banner—for ever unfurled—

“A prosperous country, at peace with the world!”

Jesse H. Wheeler.
