Edgar Guest - Success And Failure
Work rating: Medium

I do not think all failure`s undeserved, 
And all success is merely someone`s luck; 
Some men are down because they were unnerved, 
And some are up because they kept their pluck. 
Some men are down because they chose to shirk; 
Some men are high because they did their work. 

I do not think that all the poor are good, 
That riches are the uniform of shame; 
The beggar might have conquered if he would, 
And that he begs, the world is not to blame. 
Misfortune is not all that comes to mar; 
Most men, themselves, have shaped the things 
they are
