LET us stand for the right, whatever betide, Though friends may forsake us and foes may deride. Let us put on the armor and fight the good fight, Enlist in the struggle for right over might. Let us stand for the right though trials beset, Upholding a cause we can never regret; Though sharp is the conflict and dangers assail, At last we will triumph, for right will prevail. Let us stand for the right, the noble, the true, These watchwords are potent to carry us through; When tempted or tried, never falter nor fail, The darts of the enemy cannot avail. Let us stand for the right, no matter how long, The future will show us right overcomes wrong. As a pillar of strength then steadfastly stand, Resisting the evil that dwells in the land. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...I SAW A STABLE by MARY ELIZABETH COLERIDGE CENTENNIAL MEDITATION OF COLUMBIA by SIDNEY LANIER THYESTES, ACT 2: CHORUS by LUCIUS ANNAEUS SENECA SONNET: 86 by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE VERSES FOR A GUEST ROOM by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS |
