WHAT MAKES A MAN?

By F. L. Smith

A TRUTHFUL soul, a loving mind, Full of affection for its kind; A helper of the human race, A soul of beauty and of grace; A spirit firm, erect and free, That never basely bends the knee; That will not bear a feather's weight Of slavery's chain, for small or great; That firmly speaks of God within, And never makes a league with sin; That snaps the fetters despots make, And loves the truth for its own sake; That trembles at no tyrant's nod— A soul that fears no one but God, And thus can smile at curse and ban; That is the soul that makes the man.
F. L. SMITH.
