The Man Who Faces What He Must

“I LIKE the man who faces what he must With step triumphant and with heart of cheer, Who fights the daily battle without fear, Sees his hopes fail, yet keeps unfaltering trust That God is good; that 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 murmurs ever 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 triumphant conquers fate.”
