Failure Poet: Edgar Guest Failure is ceasing to try! "Tis accepting defeat And to all you may meet Giving voice to a sigh; "Tis in thinking it vain To attempt furthermore And in bowing to pain When the muscles grow sore. Failure is stepping aside From the burnt of the fray In a weak-hearted way, Being content to abide In the shadows that fall, And in being afraid Out of life, after all, Nothing's left to be made. Failure is thinking despair, The forsaking of hope, And refusal to cope With the day's round of care, It's in heeding the cry, "All is lost!" and to stay With defeat and not try For the happier day. |
