THE STAR, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Great soul, to all brave souls akin
Last Line: Shall lead them, as a star!
Subject(s): Presidents, United States; Roosevelt, Theodore (1858-1919)


GREAT soul, to all brave souls akin,
High bearer of the torch of truth,
Have you not gone to marshal in
Those eager hosts of youth?

Flung outward by the battle's tide,
They met in regions dim and far;
And you--in whom youth never died --
Shall lead them, as a star!
