Explore "William Pinkney Fishback" by James Whitcomb Riley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Say first he loved the dear home-hearts, and then / He loved his honest fellow citizen -- / He loved and honored him, in any post / Of duty where he served mankind the most.
All that he asked of him in humblest need / Was but to find him striving to succeed; / All that he asked of him in highest place / Was justice to the lowliest of his race.
