Roosevelt's Humanity

Perhaps to one of us may come the day
When we must stand for principle and rise
Like some lone peak against the silent skies,
With none to lean upon and none to sway;
But would we help our brothers on the way,
We must come down to earth with kindly aim,
Not coldly stand aloof and watch the game,
But play with zest as little children may.
We cannot lead, said he, a life apart,
Nor turn away from men for faults that mar;
While good remains there's hope to reach the heart,
And lead our comrades like a steadfast star;
Hold up the light for them in hall or mart,
And take them all and use them as they are.
