  "So he died for his faith! That is fine,
  

  More than most of us do!
  

  But stay - can you add to that time
  

  That he lived for it too?
  

  
  

  It is ease to lie. Men have died
  

  For a wish or a whim,
  

  From bravado, or passion; or pride
  

  Was it hard for him?
  

  
  

  But to live! Every day to live out
  

  All the truth that we dreamt,
  

  While his friends met his conduct with doubt,
  

  And the world with contempt.
  

  
  

  What is thus that he plodded ahead
  

  Never turning aside?
  

  Thenk we'll talk of the life that he led,
  

  Never mind how he died."
