“WE-DO.QUR. PART”
If we had been present in seventy five
When our very great grand parents were alive,
I'm sure we wouldn't have idled there
When Freedom uttered her piteous prayer;
From field and forest, from home and mart,
Would have come this answer, “We Do Our Part!”
If we had been living in days of yore,
When Lincoln his burden of sorrow bore,
Thru the wrack and ruin of bitter strife,
Thru terrors that threatened the nation’s life,
To his weary brain and tortured heart,
Would have come this promise, “We Do Our
Part!”
If we had been entities some years back,
When Hobson was sinking the Merrimac,
When Teddy was surging up San Juan hill,
And every day brought an added thrill,
To the country’s eager, pulsative heart,
Would have come this assurance, ‘We Do Our
Part!”
Thru the hellish flames of war's lurid glare,
When the four dread horsemen rode—over there,
What did we think of women and men
Who cravenly played the slacker then?
. Ah, we aimed our scorh like a burning dart
At those who refused to do their part!
What of the struggle of thirty three,
With its urgent challenge to you and to me,
Come, let us banish doubt and fear
. And fill the future with hope and cheer;
. This is the purpose of each grue heart—
. Lead Blue Eagle—**We Do Our Part!”
