<h2 id="id01128" style="margin-top: 3em">To Those Who Fail</h2>
<p id="id01129" style="margin-top: 2em"> "All honor to him who shall win the prize!"<br/>
The world has cried for a thousand years;<br/>
But to him who tries, and who fails and dies,<br/>
I give honor and glory and tears.<br/></p>
<p id="id01130"> O, great is the hero who wins a name!<br/>
But greater many and many a time<br/>
Some pale-faced fellow who dies in shame,<br/>
And lets God finish the thought sublime.<br/></p>
<p id="id01131"> And great is the man with the sword undrawn,<br/>
And good is the man who refrains from wine,<br/>
But the man who fails and who still fights on,<br/>
Lo! he is the twin brother of mine.<br/></p>
