Edgar Guest - A Man
Work rating: Low

A man doesn`t whine at his losses,
A man doesn`t whimper and fret,
Or rail at the weight of his crosses
And ask life to rear him a pet.
A man doesn`t grudgingly labor
Or look upon toil as a blight;
A man doesn`t sneer at his neighbor
Or sneak from a cause that is right.
A man doesn`t sulk when another
Succeeds where his efforts have failed;
Doesn`t keep all his praise for the brother
Whose glory is publicly hailed;
And pass by the weak and the humble
As though they were not of his clay;
A man doesn`t ceaselessly grumble
When things are not going his way.
A man looks on woman as tender
And gentle, and stands at her side
At all times to guard and defend her,
And never to scorn or deride.
A man looks on life as a mission.
To serve, just so far as he can;
A man holds his noblest ambition
On earth is to live as a man.
