Á hand of brawn, with muaclea of steel, The thiottt of a toe to grusp ; A hand thut is loving, buld and leal, Aud free for fiiendly clasp ; A hand to give aud a Imud to gain, To üteaily the pluw, to rcip the grain, Or to gutde the hip o'or the raging main. An honeat hand for n frienrt to hold, With n grip both fond nnd tf-Uë ; A hand thnt fl militier far than gold, And over reaily to do ; A band lor the veak to grap at needt That often toüt) with n Hcnniy meed, And munfully worksfor a noble deed. A hand that ïa blackened with labor's stain, And bold ia tiiecuuse of riht ; A tende-r hand by the couch of pain, Xta touch by luve in tul e light ; A hand for woman to love and cling, To muke 021 the anvil the irun ring, To lovel a throne to crown a king
