"WHAT MAKES A MAN?"

A TRUTHFUL soul, a loving mind, Full of affection for its kind; A spirit firm, erect and free, That never basely bends a knee; That will not bear a feather's weight On slavery's chain, for small or great; That truly speaks from God within, And never makes a league with sin; That snaps the fetters despots make, And loves the truth for its own sake; That worships God, and him alone, And bows nowhere but at his throne; That trembles at no tyrant's nod; A soul that fears no one but God; And thus can smile at curse or ban; That is the soul that makes a man.
