THE GREATER MAN.
Two men were fighting in the road
And both large. and both were mad,
And both a wondrous courage showed,
And fought with all the strength they had
At first they did not know or guess
That their contention blocked the way.
And brought such want and wretchedness
To those who watched them day by day.
But one man-one-the greater man,
Rose sudden 10 a mighty height
He said. Who e'er this strife began
give il up. ! cease 20 tight
And was he rich-the greater man?
Or he poor? I cannot say;
/ only know that peace began.
And ne was Conqueror Of the day.
