Truth will prevail, though men abhor
The glory of its light;
And wage exterminating war
And put all foes to flight.
Though trodden under foot of men,
Truth from the dust will spring,
And from the press--the lip--the pen--
In tones of thunder ring.
Beware--beware, ye who resist
The light that beams around,
Lest, ere you look through error's mist,
Truth strike you to the ground.
--D. C. Colesworthy.
