Henry George by Bliss Carman — Read

We are only common people, / And he was a man like us. / But he loved his fellows before himself; / And he died for me and you, / To redeem the world anew / From cruelty and greed -- / For love the only creed, / For honor the only law.

There once was a man of the people, / A man like you and me, / Who worked for his daily bread, / And he loved his fellows before himself. / But he died at the hands of the throng / To redeem the world from wrong, / And we call him the Son of God, / Because of the love he had.
