To the Unknown Many.
I raise no glass to the man whose fame Has spread from coast to coast, Whose talents have served to place his name With those men honour most. My toast is not for the lady fair Whose grace and charming ways Have set men marvelling everywhere And won her kingly praise. I raise no glass to the hero who Has won deserved applause, Who has done as the brave alone may do In a daring, righteous cause. I drink no health to the one whose voice Mankind shall ne'er forget, Whose genius has made the world rejoice And left it in her debt. I raise my glass to the silent horde, Spread o'er the world's expanse, To the unknown many who might have soared, But never had a chance.
