Four stones from one rock bed came,
Differing In goal and aim,
Though their start had been the same.
One became stepping stone,
Had no glory Of its own
Being just for help alone.
One desired life Of fame
So cornerstone became,
Bore burden and a name
One became monument,
All to craven praises lent,
Flattering when life was spent.
One. became a milestone staid,
Showing man where he had strayed,
Back or front looked Nnafraid
| Thus they chose and thus they rest;
| Which upon the final test
Served the race Of men the best?
