Success

          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.
