Edgar Guest - The Brave Men
Work rating: Low

HERE`S to the men who laugh 
In the face of grim despair, 
Who gather the tares and chaff 
But sow with a cheerful air. 
Here`s to the smiling men 
Who, giving, can take a blow, 
And rise to the fight again 
When others have laid them low.

Here`s to the men who grin
When plans that they build go wrong, 
And straightway new plans begin
With courage and purpose strong. 
Here`s to the glad, brave men
Who, battling, expect a bruise, 
And rise to the fight again
Undaunted by fights they lose.

Here`s to the men who smile,
With faith in the morning light, 
And bravely await the while
Till victory crowns their fight. 
Here`s to the fighting men
That always need not succeed, 
To rise to the fight again—
The brave in defeat we need.
