HENRY HOWLAND

What Have Y>u Done?

You are going to do great things, yoa say— But what have you done? You are going to win in a splendid way. As other have won; You have plans that when they are put in force Will make you sublime; You have mapped out a glorious upward course— i Bbt why don’t you climb? You're not quite ready to start, you says If you hope to win The time to be starting is now—today— , Don’t dally, begin! No man has ever been ready as yet. Nor ever will be; You may fall ere you reach where your hopes are set— ( But try it and see. You are going to do great things, yo» say. You have splendid plans; Your dreams are of heights that are far away; They’re a hopeful man’s— But the world, when it judges the easi for you. At the end, my son. Will think not of what you were going! to do,But of what you’ve done.
