THE INEVITABLE

I like the man who faces what he hts the daily battle without fear; Sees his hopes fail, yet keeps unfaltering trust That God is God, that somehow, true and just, His plans work out for mortals; not a tear Is shed when fortune, which the world holds dear, Falls fro in dishonor; envies not, Nor loses faith in man; but does his best, Nor murive zest To every toiler He alone is great Who by a life heroic conquers fate

He comes, she clasps him, to her bosom pressed, He drinks the balm of life, and drops to rest

She, by her slad discovery shows!
