Here

And here, with gesture of brave command 
  And tenderly beaming face,
He reached to the world a thrilling hand,
  And fought for the human race.

'Twas here, with a strength by anguish bought
  And a love that never slept,
He rocked the cradle of new-born thought,
  While the century smiled and wept.
