THE TEST
The test of a man is the fight he
makes,
The grit that he daily shows;
fj;'he way lie stands on his feet and
takes
Fate's numerous blimps and blows.
A coward can smile when th re’s
naught to fear,
V/hen nothing his progress bars;
But it takes a man to stand and
cheer
While the other fellow stars.
It isn't the victory after all,
But the fight a brother makes;
The man who, driven against the
wall,
Still stands erect and takes
The blows of Fate with his head
held high
Bleeding and bruised and gale,
Is the man who * 11 win and Pate
defy
For he isn't afraid to fall.
It's the hurdles you mount and
breaks you got,
And the shocks your courage stands:
Tho hour of sorrow and vain
regret,
For the prize that escapes your
hands,
That test, your mettle and prove
your worth;
It isn t the blows you deal
But the blows you take on this
good old earth,
That show if your stuff is real.
