The world has room for the manly man, with the spirit of manly
cheer;
The world delights in the man who smiles when his eyes keep back
the tear;
It loves the man who, when things go wrong, can take his place and
stand
With his face to the fight and his eyes to the light, and toil with
a willing hand;
The manly man is the country’s need, and the moment’s need,
forsooth,
With a heart that beats to the pulsing tread of the lilied leagues
of truth;
The world is his and it waits for him, and it leaps to hear the
ring
Of the blow he strikes and the wheels he turns and the hammers he
dares to swing;
It likes the forward look in his face, the poise of his noble head,
And the onward lunge of his tireless will and the sweeps of his
dauntless tread!
Hurrah for the manly man who comes with sunlight on his face,
And the strength to do and the will to dare and the courage to find
his place!
The world delights in the manly man, and the weak and evil flee
When the manly man goes forth to hold his own on land or sea!
