He who has walked among his fellow-men
  This life's rough path for threescore years and ten,
  Bearing for others, on the weary way,
  The heat and burden of the toilsome day;
  Sounding the silvery notes of faith and hope
  Whene'er the weak or the despairing droop;
  Speaking the words of sympathy and love,
  Far the wild discords of the world above;
  Raising the fallen, succoring the opprest---
  The Holy Graal of unfound good his quest;
  Holding aloft, a true and blameless Knight,
  The stainless banner of the Just and Right:
  He is the Christian hero of to-day,
  And at his feet my tribute here I lay.
