THE GREAT UNSATISFIED.
The men who are not sattsflea Are they who set the pace— Tho men who do not meet defeat With calm, contented fn"f The men who labour on and on With mluda und lingers skilled— They arc the great unsatisfied Who plau and tight and build. The men who are not HittistieU— They are the ones who lead; They force humanity ahead By strident word and deed. They bring ub out of bygone w»yej They guide us through the dark To where some man, unsatisfied. Has set a shining mark. The men who are not satisfied— They gird the world with wires; They belt the land with rails of iteel And pierce the air with spires; They loose the leash of sweet content With which mankind is tied. We'll never pay the debt we owe Tb» men unsatisfied. —••rail luu Gaxttu."
