Show Just Folks ly Edqer A. Guest By EIMiAR A. Gl EST tjl KSTION He was a faster man than I And though I ran my best Ere long I saw him pass me by Victorious In the test. For that must I be turned away A failure on tha judgment day? He was a stronger man than L His body sturdier made. He left me in the dust to lie Beaten and sore dismayed. But is it failure. Lord, to fight And lose to one of greater might? He was a shrewder man than I And always seemed to see Advantage with a clearer eye Than that allowed te me.
