FOR THE MAN WHO FAILS

who wins
Is the chap for its moneys worth;
And the lust for success causes halt
the sins
That are cursing this brave old
earth.
For it's fine to go up. and the worlds
applause
Is sweet to the mortal ear:
But the man who fails in a noble
cause
Is hero that's no less dear.
lis true enough that the laurel
crown
Twines but for the viotor's brow;
For many hero has lain him down
With naught but the cypress bough.
There are gallant men in the losing
fight.
And as gallant deeds are done
As ever graced the captured height
Or the battle grandly won.
We sit at life's board with our nerves
high strung.
And We play for the stake of fame.
And our Odes are sung and our
banners hung
For the man who wins the game.
But have a song of another kind
Than breatheS in those fame
wrought gales
An ode to the noble heart and mind
or the gallant man who fails,
The man who is strong to fight his
fight.
And whose will no front can daunt.
II the truth be truth End the right
be right,
Is the man that the ages want.
Though he fail and die in grim de-
feat,
Yet he has not fled the strife,
And the house of Earth viii seem

For the perfume Of his life.
