“When all is said and all is done,When all is lost or all is won—In spite of musty theory,Of purblind faith and vain conceit,Of barren creed and sophistry; In spite of all—success, defeat— The judge applies to worst and best,Impartially, this final test:{{pb}}What hast thou done with brawn and brain,To help the world to lose or gainAn onward step? Canst reckon oneUnselfish, brave or noble deedThat thou—nor counting cost—hast doneTo help a brother's crying need?Not what professed nor what believed—But what good thing hast thou achieved!”
