Once
to every man and nation comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of Truth with Falsehood for the good or evil
side;
Some great Cause,
God's New Messiah,
offering each the bloom or blight,
Parts the goats upon the left hand, and the sheep upon the
right.
And the choice goes by forever 'twixt' darkness and that light.
Then
to side with Truth is noble when we share her wretched
crust.
Ere her cause bring fame and profit,
and 'tis prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses, while the coward stands aside,
Doubting in his abject spirit, till his Lord is crucified,
And the multitude make virtue of the faith they had denied.
James
Russell Lowell
