/ MAN WHO DIDN'T SUCCEED.
! They sing of the men who build the
/ mills
/ And girdle the earth with steel:
/ Who fill the hour and WELD the power
! That molds the public veal
Honor to them that in honor do
The work that the world must need
And yet in chief hold brief
For the Man ", O Didn't Succeed.
It's not to excuse the indolent;
No plea for the down and out;
Nor specious rot condemning what
The leaders are about
Merely TO ask in a casual way
OF those who chance to read,
For fairer view, and kinder too.
OF the Man Who Didn't Succeed.
His house is small, his table light;
His family must endure
The snubs and sneers of the buccan-
GERS
Whose debts fall on the poor
Yet his is a home and no hotel,
His wife is a wife, indeed,
There's nothing above his chiIdren's
love
To the Man Who Didn't Succeed.
Admitting it's true that he did not
make
The most of his talents ten.
He won no pelts nor raised himself
At the cost of his fellowmen.
His hands are clean, his heart is
white,
His honor has been his creed
Now who are we to say that he
Is the Man Who Didn't Succeed?
