Manliness If you can dream and not make dreams your master; If you can think and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with triumph and disaster; And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can force your heart, and nerve, and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone; And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the will which says to them “Hold on”. If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the earth and everything that’s in it, And, what is more, you’ll be a man, my son.
- Rudyard Kipling
Going for Water We ran as if to meet the moon That slowly dawned behind the trees, The barren boughs without the leaves, Without the birds, without the breeze. But once within the wood, we paused Like gnomes that hid us from the moon, Ready to run to hiding new With laughter when she found us soon. Each laid on the other a staying hand To listen ere we dared to look, And in the hush we joined to make We heard, we knew we heard the brook.
- Robert Frost
The Migrant Bird The globe’s my world. The cloud’s my kin I care not where the skies begin; I spread my wings through all the din; Through fears and fright I fly my flight. No walls for me, no vigil gates, No flags, no machine guns that blast Citizens of those border states- Brothers of her brother’s sons. No maps, no boundaries to block My sojourn into unknown lands, I spawn and splash in distant spills, I breed my brood where’r I will. I won’t look down. No I will not. With speed of wings I hasten past And close my eyes against the sun To dream my dreams and make them last.
- Famida Y.Basheer
The Cry of the Children “For oh,” say the children, “We are weary, And we cannot run or leap. If we cared for any meadows, it were merely To drop down in them and sleep. Our knees tremble sorely in the stooping--- We fall upon our faces, trying to go; And, underneath our heavy eyelids drooping, The reddest flower would look as pale as snow. For, all day, we drag our burden tiring, Through the coal-dark, underground--- Or, all day, we drive the wheels of iron In the factories, round and round
