Classic Poem

Who builds of stone a shrine to bear his name,
Shall be forgot when months and years have flown;
Who writes his name upon the scroll of fame,
The centuries shall find to men unknown;
But who for fellow men endured the shame
Shall have eternal glory for his own.

Who builds of stone a shrine to bear his name,
—Shall be forgot when months and years have flown;
Who writes his name upon the scroll of fame,
—The centuries shall find to men unknown;
But who for fellow men endured the shame
—Shall have eternal glory for his own.
