And the man beloved through the centuries,
Was tie humblest ever earth,
This is the difference, brother,
When all is over and done;
.z whether your heart was a manly heart,
Or a cowardy, craven one.
il, : whether you fought in the ranks of right,
Fer the good of your fellow man.
whether you fought on the other side,
ar whether you skulked and ran.
IS whether your smile was an honest smile
and your voice full of honest cheer;
Il whether your soul was an honest soul,
And the grip of your hand sincere.
I'll whether your faith was an honest faith
That helped out a weaker one,
That makes the difference hundred years
Al tier all is over and done.
