The Inevitable

I like the man who faces wliat he raust With step triuniphant and a hcart of cheer; Who ñghts the daily hattlo without fear; Sees hLs hopes fail, yet keeps unfaltering trust That God is God; lliat somehow, true and just, His plans work out for mortals. Not a tear Is Bhed when fortune, which the world holds dear. Falla from his grasp. Better with lovo a crust Than Living in dishonor; envíes not. Nor loses faith iu man, but does his best. Nor ever murinurs at his humbler lot, But with a Bmüe and words of hope girea zest To every toUer. Ho alono is great Who by a Ufo heroic conquers fate.
