One Of The Nameless Great

Title:     One Of The Nameless Great
Author: John Kendrick Bangs [More Titles by Bangs]

I KNEW a man who died in days of yore,
To whom no monument is like to rise;
And yet there never lived a mortal more
Deserving of a shaft to pierce the skies.

His chiefest wish strong friendships was to make;
He cared but little for this poor world’s pelf;
He shared his joys with every one who’d take,
And kept his sorrows strictly to himself.

[The end]
John Kendrick Bangs's poem: One Of The Nameless Great
