God, give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor; who will not lie… Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty, and in private thinking; For while the rabble, with its thumb-worn creeds, Its large professions and its little deeds Mingle in selfish strife, lo! freedom weeps, Wrong rules the land, and waiting Justice sleeps. --Josiah Holland
