You deal in words and a pen, Av dificult, dangerous task! You shape the opinions Wh also, or €0 aco or 40 to enlarge or decry, ven, For the City in which we" live, For the common' good have You given, 'And if, in the dark, mistaken, hat on, ito give You"found not a guiding light, gre uso ae omaha And tls that you render fu werate as you thought ft right, Help to my' Country' yet, That, you carry, away rome tender phoughte of the friends you have That, the end of the day may be finer, That your pen may be swift and To write for the good of China!
This iw my wish for you!
