It’s easy to fight in the cause of the right
When it’s surely, steadily winning;
To nobly stand with a gallant band
While plaudits loud are dinning;
For nothing inspires and fans the fires
Of out noblest best endeavor,
Like knowing success will crown our best
And glory be ours forever.
But to stand with the few and yet be true
To a seemingly losing cause;
To fight for the right with all your might,
With never a sound of applause;
To stand like a brave in the face of a grave,
O’erhung with the cloud of defeat,
This, this is the test of a hero, the best,
A hero we seldom meet.
