Edgar Guest - Success
Work rating: Medium

Success is not in getting rich, 
`Tis not in winning fame; 
`Tis not in climbing from the ditch 
To gain the world`s acclaim. 
`Tis not in leading armies strong,
For he`s successful, too, 
Who brings his best the whole day long 
To what he has to do.

The humble toiler in the field
Who tends his acres small 
And watches them that they may yield 
Their utmost in the fall 
Has just as much of right to boast 
As he whom thousands cheer, 
For he has also made the most 
Of what God gave him here.

The man who does his duty well,
Although his task be small, 
And in a cottage poor he dwell 
Successful we should call. 
If he has given his task the best 
He had, nor ever swerved 
From what is right, he`s met the test. 
Success is having served.
