THE PRESIDENT (THE PANAMA TOLLS), by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: He plead for honor and the country's good
Last Line: But left to history the ungrudging sort.
Subject(s): Panama Canal; Presidents, United States; Roosevelt, Theodore (1858-1919); Canal Zone


HE plead for honor and the country's good,
And craved "ungrudging measure" of support.
The Sages gave approval as they could,
But left to History the ungrudging sort.
