THE MEASURE OF A MAN’S WORTH

Someone once has asked:

What are merits to measure the worth?

Not, how did he die? But, how did he live?

Not, what did he gain? But, what did he give?

These are the merits To measure the worth

Of a man as a man, Regardless of birth.

Not, what was his station? But, had he a heart?

And how did he play His God-given part?
