The crest and crowning of all good,  
  Life's final star, is Brotherhood;  
  For it will bring again to Earth  
  Her long-lost Poesy and Mirth;  
  Will send new light on every face,  
  A kingly power upon the race.  
  And till it come, we men are slaves,  
  And travel downward to the dust of graves.
The Man with the Hoe and Other Poems (1899) - Brotherhood
