| LEADER by Nature sent to stir an age When men were kindled with the pent-up ire That rebel son had caught from burning sire - Hero whose prescient thought and theme presage The later franchise on our Nation's page; Whose swerveless powers new chivalry inspire. This bronze outbreathes an innate spirit fire, Bespeaks a statesman brave, a patriot sage, A mind of adamant to mould the time - Betokens olden Boston's worth and fame, Tells that a People's flash of hope sublime Is fanned by Genius into Freedom's flame, That still four generations' deeds and prime Are stamped and pictured in the Adams' name. |
