THE TEST

The test of man is the fight he makes
The grit that he daily shows,
The way he stands on his feet and takes
Fates numerous bumps and blows.
A coward can smile when there's
naught to fear,
When nothing his progress bars,
But it takes man to stand up and cheer
While some other fellow stars.
1t isn't the victory, after all,
But the fight that brother makes,
Thesman who, driven against the wall,
Still stands up erect and takes
The blows of fate with his head held
high,
Bleeding and bruised and pale,
Is the man who'll win in the by and by
For he isn't afraid to fall.
It's the bumps you get and jolts you'get
And the shocks that your courage
stands.
The hours of sorrow and vain regret,
The price that escapes our hands,
That test your mettlc and prove your
worth.
1t isn't the blows you deal.
But the blows you take on the goodold
earth,
That show if your stuff is real. Elk.
