Edgar Albert Guest
I hold no dream of fortune vast,
Nor seek undying fame.
I do not ask when life is past
That many know my name.
 
I may not own the skill to rise
To glory’s topmost height,
Nor win a place among the wise,
But I can keep the right.
 
And I can live my life on earth
Contented to the end,
If but a few shall know my worth
And proudly call me friend.
