Edgar Guest - Since I Have Done My Best
Work rating: Low

SINCE I have done my best, I do
Not fear the outcome; here I stand
Prepared for judgment when men view
The labor of my heart and hand.
If good, then happy I shall be,
If not, contented I`ll abide,
And though the prize is not for me,
My joy shall be in having tried.

Since I have done my best, there is
No cause for me to sit and sigh, 
Although the laurel wreath I miss,
My eyes shall smiling be and dry; 
No vain excuses shall I make
For failing, and no vain regret, 
But bravely judgment I shall take,
And say: "A better man I`ve met."

Since I have done my best, I`ll go
Whenever God shall summon me, 
Contented, for right well I know
However poor my record be 
That, having nothing to regret,
No shame that I would seek to hide, 
The Master`s praises I shall get
For honest effort when I tried.
