BETTER

By Joaquin Miller

I TELL you ’twere better to cherish that soul— That soldier who battles with thought for a sword, That climbs the steep ramparts where wrong has control, And falls, beaten back by the rude, trampling horde— Ay, better to cherish his words and his worth, Than all the Napoleons that people the earth. —Joaquin Miller.
