GORE hence, alas, is one whom none will know

In the new England of these coming years, A hero true, devoid of human fears,— A man whose speech was lit by truth's warm glow, Whose soul's large purpose was to aid below, And bless all honest labour's just desire To gain true wisdom, and be lifted higher In place and dignity from want and woe.

Foul aims, and indirect, he spurned with scorn, But truth and duty loved with spirit keen ; In every noble struggle he was seen Foremost in strength, as to the purpose born !

Duty and God his guide ; his constant friend The honest man, and justice still his end. J. H. H.
