LUTHER.
Reading edition
By Mrs. S. R. GRAHAM CLARK.
Truth is eternal. He who dares To sign its deathless scroll Dares to live ever, linked to light, While ages onward roll. O dauntless hero! At thy grave A world uncovered stands! And o’er thy dust all christendom Clasps loving brother-hands. Our brother, ours! A land unborn When thou didst wage thy fight— We reap thy labors—race entailed— And in thy praise unite. Hail Germany! The world is bound, By fetters wrought from truth— Earth’s mightiest smith, upon thy breast Was cradled in his youth.
