success - Популярные cтихи, рассказы и фанфики

I do not think all failure's undeserved,
And all success is merely someone's luck;
Some men are down because they were unnerved,
And some are up because they kept their pluck

Oft have I brooded on defeat and pain,
The pathos of the stupid, stumbling throng
These I ignore to-day and only
To pour my soul forth in one trumpet strain,

Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.
