And hold it as a fact
But my sins outweigh my virtues
And my idiocy outweighs my wit

That is the truth of it.

“You see now where your fault lies,
Now find you your shame.
You will find it resting closely by—
At the door from whence you came.”

And into government pour the life and beauty of heart.
The Morals, the Ethics, the Blood, that sets it apart.
“When America ceases to be Good, it will cease to be great.”

Pour into government the best of human heart
Even though bleeding is a tiring art.
