It’s true, O Man,
These words, “I can”
Express the best in you.
Ability
On earth and sea
Is hard-core strength of you.

The starry sky
Is in your ken
To test the fight in you;
Ability,
That’s bold and free,
Is up, and going through!

Ability
Of thought—to grasp!
Of knowledge won with mind,
Will take you far,
And where you are
Your man-soul is the find!
