</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"> The shaft of beauty, towering high;

</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">In love of home and loyalty
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"> And far-cast thought of civic good—
