The Night Mail and Other Poems

[julesapple]

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

[julesapple]

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

[julesapple]

Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;

[julesapple]

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

[julesapple]

If all men count with you, but none too much;

[julesapple]

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

[julesapple]

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -

[julesapple]

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

[julesapple]

And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

[Hazel at the Hill]

Hurrah!

[julesapple]

Hurrah! indeed!

(not that I want to be a Man, but still....)
