A million who their heart-blood given

Spurned from proud Honor’s seat;

Hope mocked and dear ideals shattered,

Truth crushed and crucified,

The fruits of love and labor scattered

And Greed o’er Goodness ride;

Curse like a ghoul despair and sorrow

Leave at the race’s door,

Pledging to-morrow and to-morrow

Cursing the world still more.
