Come Stand With Me This Day

    An Election Day shall ne'er go by,
    From this day to the end­ing of the world,
    But we in it shall be remembered--
    We voters, we happy voters, we band of brothers;
    For he to-day that stands with me­
    Shall be my brother . . .
    And those who remain this day a-bed
    Shall think themselves the worst they were not here,
    And hold their freedoms cheap who did not rise
    And stand with me in St. Louis on Election Day.

(Apologies to Will Shakespeare and Henry V.)

 

St Crispin's Day. Very apropos.
