A Nation's Strength

by R. W. Emerson

Est. reading time: 1 min

NOT gold, but only man can make
A people great and strongMen who, for truth and honor's sake,
Stand fast and suffer long.
Brave men who work while others sleep,
Who dare while others flyThey build a nation's pillars deep
And lift them to the sky.
