Better than honor and glory, and History's iron pen, Was the thought of duty done and the love of his fellow-men.

I am the spirit of the morning sea, I am the awakening and the glad surprise.

Knights of the spirit; warriors in the cause Of justice absolute 'twixt man and man.

Better than honor and glory, and History's iron pen, Was the thought of duty done and the love of his fellow-men.

A man not perfect, but of heart so high, of such heroic rage, That even his hopes became a part of earth's eternal heritage.
