“Backbone”

Transcription

BACKBONE

To dress and sit, sad walk genteely [?],
  To bow with ease and grace!
To speak in accents soft and mealy,
  To wear studied face:
These, and like goodly gifts and graces,
  Are well enough I own;
But what we want in this soft age,
  Bone– backbone.

A heart to feel, a mind to think,
  Despite each base control,
A tongue to speak, a hand to work,
  The purpose of the soul-
By these and other goodly tokens,
  It may be surely known,
If this or that, without the body;
  Is bone – backbone.

Give me a man that's all a man
  Who stands up straight and strong,
Who loves the plain and simple right,
  And will not yield to wrong;
Who deals with firm untrembling hand,
  To every one his own;
Oh! a blessed thing in anybody,
  Is bone – backbone.
