Who, whether
praise of him must walk the
earth
Forever, and to
noble deeds give birth,
Or he must
fall, to sleep without his
fame,
And leave a dead, unprofitable
name--
Finds comfort in himself and in his
cause;
And, while the
mortal mist is gathering, draws
His breath in
confidence of
Heaven's applause:
This is the happy
Warrior; this is He
That ever
Man in arms should
wish to be.
--William Wordsworth
