An old man spoke to a lad who stood Just at the brink of fair manhood. The youth was tall and straight and strong And he whistled a song as he went along. His brain was quick, his eye was bright He waited, anxious for the fight. For he stood at the edge of Life ' s battlefield, Bearing a sword and a maiden shield, Anxious to rush into the fray, For his hopes were high to win the day But the old man saw the youth and sighed As he stood there to watch him ride. He had seen many as full of life Step out upon this field of strife. Ay, he himself had done it too, When he was young, and all seemed true. And thus he spoke to the youthful knight, Madly impatient, eager to fight. Are you well equipped? Is your armor strong? Do you wear next to your heart a song? Have you padded yourself with Truth so You can withstand the darts of the worldly foe? Do you know if your Morals are strapped secure? Your Metal tested? Your Courage sure? How near to the top does your humor lie? Is Wisdom bound near each Reply? Are you sure you feel no jealousy smart? And Hatred does not press your heart? Is your Anger well buckled down? Have you placed a Smile over a Frown? Then on your shield these words engrave To keep you true, to trouble save. These words which have so oft helped me Take now Be as you seem to be . Now ride, and may your fight be long Your efforts bent to right the wrong. And may Success always attend And Glory crown your journey ' s end . — Elma Lininger ' 1 6.
