They are no wealthier than I;
But with as brave a core within
They rear their boughs to the October sky.
Poor knights they are which bravely wait
The charge of Winters cavalry,
Keeping a simple Roman state,
Discumbered of their Persian luxury.”

“God of justice, save the people
From the clash of race and creed,
From the strife of class and faction,
Make our nation free indeed;”
