How DID YOU DIE 2

Did You tackle that trouble that ,lme
NJur way
WITH a resolute heart and cheerful,
Or hide Your lace from the HIGHT OF day
With craven SOU and iearfuly
Oh, troubles ton, or q troubles an
ounce,
Or , trouble is what you make Il,
And It isn't the fact thar You're hunt that
counts,
But only how did you take il,
You are beaten to earth? We'll, well
whats that?
Come up with smiling face.
lt'- nothing against Won 10 fall down fiat,
Bar 10 lie there-tAat's disgrace
The harder you're thrown, why the higher
YOU bounce;
BE proud OF your .backened eye
1t isn't the fact that you're licked that
counts,
It's how did you dght-and why?
And though YOU be done to the DEATH
what then.
Ii You battlrd the best you could,
II You played your part in the world Of
men
Why, the Critic will call it good.
Death comes with crawl or comes with
a pOunce,
And whether he's slow or spry
1t isn't the fact that you're dead that
counts,
But only how did YOU die?

Is secured each year from this source.
The honey is very light in color, rich
