He has not served who gathers gold,
Nor has he served whose life is told
In selfish battles he has won
Or deed of skill that he has done,
But he has served who now and then
Has helped along his fellow man.

Nor has he served whose life is told

Or deed of skill that he has done,
But he has served who now and then
Has helped along his fellow man.
