WASHINGTON. Soldier and statesman, rarest unison; HIgh-polsed example of great duties done Simply as breathing, a world's honors worn As life's Indifferent gifts to all men born; Dumb for himself, unless it were to God, But for his barefoot soldiers eloquent, Tramping the snow to coral where they trod, Held by his awe In hollow-eyed content; con-tent; Modest, yet firm as Nature's self; un-blamed un-blamed 8ave by the men his nobler temper shamed; Not honored then or now because he wooed The popular voice, but that he still withstood; Broad-minded, hlgher-souled, there Is ' but one Who wast all this, and ours, and all men's, Washington. James Russell Lowell.
