 Shall be vanquished by the toilers big enough to suffer pain.

It’s a big task we have taken; ’tis for others we must fight. We must see our duty clearly in a white and shining light; We must quit our little circles where we’ve moved in little ways, And work, as men and women, for the bigger, better days. We must quit our selfish thinking and our narrow views and creeds, And as people, big and splendid, we must do the bigger deeds.
