| Lines for the Hour |
| | | Hamilton Fish Armstrong |
| |
| |
| If what we fought for seems not worth the fighting, | |
| And if to win seems in the end to fail, | |
| Know that the vision lives beyond all blighting | |
| And every struggle rends another veil. | |
| |
| The tired hack, the cynic politician, | 5 |
| Can dim but cannot make us lose the goal, | |
| Time moves with measured step upon her mission, | |
Knowing the slow mutations of the soul.
