Edgar Guest - The Man Who`s DownEdgar Guest - The Man Who`s Down
Work rating: Low


IT is well enough to cheer for the brother who is up, It is fine to praise the brother who has captured victory`s cup; But don`t keep your kind words always for the man who`s won renown, For the boy who really needs them is the fellow who is down. Give a cheer when men deserve it, shout your praise for them to hear, Don`t reserve your admiration till a man is on his bier, But remember as you wander every day about the town That a kind word will work wonders for the brother who is down. For the man on top is happy, and he has a thousand friends, He can always get a kind word, no matter where he wends, But the brother who is striving to attain a laurel crown Often needs a friend to help him. Don`t neglect the brother down.
