THEODORE ROOSEVELT, by                    
First Line: His name, when uttered, thrills the world
Last Line: As the world joins in his praise.
Subject(s): Presidents, United States; Roosevelt, Theodore (1858-1919)


HIS name, when uttered, thrills the world
And charms its millions through
And flags of nations are unfurled
In honor of his name so great and true.

* * * * * *

A life of vigor he had wrought;
He labored to the end;
A man of vision and forethought --
The common people's friend.

* * * * * *

He loved and served his country's laws
With devotion deep and true.
This heart was wrapped in Freedom's cause,
His life inspires us thru and thru.

* * * * * *

The spirit of true Americanism
He preached and practiced, too;
His great heart burned with patriotism
That thrilled the nation through.

* * * * * *

He blessed the world in many ways;
His vision reached afar;
Like the sun sends forth its rays,
His life's a blazing star.

* * * * * *

High in the hall of matchless fame
Where the names of heroes blaze,
We'll write his wondrous glorious name
As the world joins in his praise.
