Lyrics of Life — Le Grand Salut
(1909)
“ LE GRAND SALUT "Major Dreyfus, in the name of the Republic and of the people of France, I proclaim you a knight of the Legion of Honour" There is a power in innocence, a might Which, clothed in weakness, makes injustice vain: A strength, o'ertopping reason to explain. ”
