But, proudest, tenderest thought of all, the people of this bright Southland say, through this monument, to all the world:
Such was he; his work is done,
But while the races of mankind endure,
Let his great example stand,
Colossal, seen of every land,
And keep the soldier firm, the statesman pure,
Till in all lands and through all human story,
The path of Duty be the way to glory!
