POEMS EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW
Character OF the Happy Warrior"

Io,ouirr IL the poom Charaoto of tho Happy warrior
iam wordaworth and which read by Dr. Henry Dyk
the funeral of Grover Cleveland
who is the happy warrior? Who is he
That every man should wish to
Ii is the generous spirit when brought
Among tasks OF real life, hath wrought
Upon plan that pleased his childish thought;
Whose high endeayors inward light
That makes the path before him always bright
Who with natural instinct to discern
knowledge perform, is diligent to learn
Abides by this resolve and stops there,
makes mis- being his prime
Who, doomed to SO with pain
And fear and bloodsiled-- miserable uain--
Turns his necessity glorious gain;
Of these doth exercise power
Which is human natures highest dover;
Controls them and subdues uansmutes, bereoVes
OF their bad influence and their good receives
BY objects which might force the soul to abate
Her feeling rendered more compassionate
Is paeable. because occasions rise
So often that demand such sacrifice;
More sIlful In seftnuwledge even more pure,
AS tempted able endure
AS more exposed to suffering and distress
Thence, also, alive to tenderness,
TITS reason; depends
Upon that law the best of friends;
Whence, a state where tempted still
To evil for guard against worse i'll,
what in quality best
seldom a right foundation rest.
He ixeth good good alone, and
To virtue every triumph that
Who, If he rise to station OF command,
Rises by and there will stand
On honorable terms else retire,
himself possess his desire;
Who comprehends his trust, and TO the
Keeps faithful with sinsleness of aim;
therefore not stoop lie
For wealth honors for worldly state,
Whom they follow; whose fall,
Like showers of mama If they all;
Whose powers shed round him in the common strife
Or mild concerns of ordinary life,
constant influence peculiar grace;
But who IL he is called
Some awful moment to which Heaven has Joined
Great issues, good bad for humankind
Is happy a lover; and attred
With sudden brightness, like a inspired;
And through the heat OF conflict keeps the law
made. and what he foresaw;
If unexpected call
when 1T viii, is equal o need;
He who, though thus enduced as with a
faculty turbulence,
Is soul whose maser-bas leans
TO home felt pleasures and to gentle
lmages which whereso'er be-
his heart, and such fidelity
his darling passion to approves
More brave for this, that he hath much to love-
TITS, finally, the Who lifted high.
Conspicuous object in nations eye,
unthought of in obsolrity
Who, with a toward untoward lot
Prosperous adverse his or not
Plays in the many games of life that
Where what he most doth value must be won!
Whom neither shape of danger dsrnay
Nor thought of tender happiness betray;
Who, content that former worth
Looks forward persevering TO the last
From well to better daily sef-surpast
Who whether praise of him walk the earth
Forever and to noble deeds give birth,
he go without his
And leave dead, Improbable name,
Finds comfort in himself and In his cause
And, while the mortal mist is gathering, draws
breath in confidence of Heavens applause;
This is the happy warriors this is
Whom should
