And each man stands with his face in the light
Of his own drawn sword,
Ready to do what a hero can.


Poems Before Congress (1860)


And each man stands with his face in the light Of his own drawn sword, Ready to do what a hero can.

And each man stands with his face in the light Of his own drawn sword, Ready to do what a hero can.

And each man stands with his face in the light Of his own drawn sword, Ready to do what a hero can.

And each man stands with his face in the light Of his own drawn sword, Ready to do what a hero can.
