Better to try by Edgar Guest
'Tis better to have tried in vain,
Sincerely striving for a goal,
Than to have lived upon the plain
An idle and a timid soul.
'Tis better to have fought and spent
Your courage, missing all applause,
Then to have lived in smug content
And never ventured for a cause.
For he who tires and fails may be
The founder of a better day;
Though never his the victory,
From
him shall others learn the way.
