Rh

Shall we know terror, shall our strong ones fall

That others' children, fearless in the sun,

May see our visions and accomplish all

That we must leave undone?

We take thy bargain, Master of the Mart.

Though we may flinch, we cannot turn away.

Send thy resistless fire upon our heart

And make us strong to pay.

Amelia Josephine Burr.
