They teach and live the Golden Rule Of Young Democracy:—‘That culture, joy and goodliness Be th’ equal right of all:
That Greed no more shall those oppress Who by the wayside fall:‘That each shall share what all men sow: That colour, caste’s a lie:
That man is God, however low— Is man, however high.’

And, till its burden goes, Our work is—where it bleeds.
