How may we reconcile our faith in Man
With the aimless, homeless host beneath our skies?
The million prostrate, that the few may span
With covetous pride the wealth the land supplies,
'Mid luxury of a thousand selfish ties,
Heedless of those strong arms to which they owe
Immunity from toil and foreign foe.
