So he died for his faith. That is fine,
More than most of us do.
But say. can YOU add to that line
That he lived Tor it too:
i In his death he bore witness at last,
IL AS a martyr to the. truth
| did his life do the same in the past,
- From the days OF his youth:
1t is easy to die Men have died
For a wish or whim--
II From bravado or passion or pride,
Was it harder for him.
But to live-every day 10 live out
All the truth that he dreamt,
While his friends met his conduct
with doubt
And the world with contempt.
Was it thus that he plodded ahead,
Never turning aside:
Then we'll talk OF the life that he
lived,
Never mind how he died.
