Alas, slipped away while building the foundation For world democracy and amity be- tween nations. Slipped away midst a lofty plan To free the world, (yea all of man) And to remove for ever more The curse and fear of another war, Gone to the Great Beyond One who was truly fond Of Life, nature and all mankind. Inarticulate now is the great mind The people's defender And our Chief Commander.
