Give Us Men A poem by Josiah Gilbert Holland Give us men! Men – from every rank, Fresh and free and frank; Men of thought and reading, Men of light and leading, Men of loyal breeding, The nation’s welfare speeding; Men of faith and not of fiction, Men of lofty aim in action; Give us Men – O say again, Give us Men! Give us Men! Strong and stalwart ones; Men whom purest honor fires, Men who trample self beneath them, Men who make their country wreath them As their noble sons; Worthy of their sires; Men who never shame their mothers, Men who never fail their brothers, True, however false are others; Give us Men – I say again, Give us Men! Give us Men! Men who, wen tempest gathers, Grasp the standard of their fathers In the thickest fight; Men who strike for home and alter, (Let the coward cringe and falter), God defend the right! True as truth the lorn and lonely, Tender, as the brave are only; Men who tread where saints have trod, Men for Country, Home – and God; Give us Men! I say again – again, Give us Men!
