O patriot, ruler, leader great,
Master of labor, builder of state,
Man of the mart, and king of commerce,
His lips have spoken — why longer wait?
One brotherhood, one family,
And love its great economy!
The law of might is rule of evil — -
The ethic lives in man's spirit free.
No borrowed laws of clay, nor brute,
Can e'er the freeman's spirit suit!
He gave him choice!— Hark! how he thunders!
Through human strife — nor is deaf nor mute!
