WHAT DOES IT MATTER?

IT matters little where I was born, Or if my parents were rich or poor; Whether they shrank at the cold world's scorn Or walked in the pride of wealth secure; But whether I live an honest man, And hold my integrity firm in my clutch, I tell you, my brother, plain as I can, It matters much!
It matters little where be my grave, If on the land or in the sea, By purling brook, or 'neath stormy wave, It matters little or naught to me; But whether the angel of death comes down And marks my brow with a loving touch, As the one who shall wear the victor's crown, It matters much!
