So simply that who hears can comprehend.

The deep philosopher,
The pedant wise, whose wisdom makes him cold.
Instructs, but cannot stir
The heart of work, whose hope is tried and old;
But this one strives to spur
The rebel in the blood and make it bold.

He lifts the common thought,
And e'en the common heart up to the light;
Till, by his teaching wrought
To understand their wrongs and know their might
Plain men at last are brought
To rouse in truceless struggle for the right.
