IS life worth living? To the querulous cry Let this long record, lately closed, reply! A century of service to mankind! Pessimist cold and cynic blandly blind, 'Tis fitter comment on that query stale Than sneers that pall and arguments that fail. Long in the land his days, whose heart and hand All high and human causes could command; Long in the land his memory will abide His country's treasure and his people's pride. |
