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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOVE AT SEA by THEOPHILE GAUTIER IN MY LADY'S PRAISE by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 20 by BLISS CARMAN WANDERLUST by ELINOR G.
