Explore "A Good Man" by James Whitcomb Riley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I. A good man never dies -- / In worthy deed and prayer / And helpful hands, and honest eyes, / If smiles or tears be there: / Who lives for you and me -- / Lives for the world he tries / To help -- he lives eternally.
A good man never dies.
II. Who lives to bravely take / His share of toil and stress, / And, for his weaker fellows' sake, / Makes every burden less, -- / He may, at last, seem worn -- / Lie fallen -- hands and eyes / Folded -- yet, though we mourn and mourn, / A good man never dies.
