"Not for himself, not for that house of learning
Which he refashioned, guarded, builded higher;
Wide as the world his eager heart is yearning;
To all mankind he brings the sacred fire.
Brave, ardent, young, the glorious torch he lighted;
Strong, ardent, and mature, he held it fast;
True, ardent, old-till every wrong be righted
He holds it high, a leader to the last.
His are the mind heart that rest in doing;
His are the sword and shield that know not rust;
Through four-score years and ten, the Foe pursuing-
Champion of freedom, passionately just."
