God Give us Men

J.G. Holland


God give us men! A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not kill;

Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honour; men who will not lie;

And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking;
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog;
In public duty and in private thinking.
