He Alone Is Great

By Sarah Bolton

I LIKE the man who faces what he must With step triumphant and a heart of cheer; Who fights his daily battle without fear, Sees his hopes fall, yet keeps unfaltering trust That God is God, and somehow true and just His plans work out for mortals; not a tear Is shed when fortune, which the world holds dear, Falls from his grasp (better with love a crust Than living in dishonor); envies not Nor loses faith in man, but does his best; Nor ever murmurs at his humbler lot, But with a smile and words of hope gives zest To every toiler. He alone is great Who by a life heroic conquers fate. —Sarah Bolton.
