PRAYER FOR THE RACE.

Mother of mothers,
God grant to thee
Strength that strength may be.
One who unchangingly
Loves and reveres,
Penneth these words to thee,
Blindly through tears.
Tears that betoken not
Weakness in strife,
But fond irrepressible
Tributes to life.
Mother of mothers,
God grant to thee
Strength that strength may be.
