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.

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.

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.

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