Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.
You that would judge me, do not judge alone this book or that, come to this hallowed place where my friends' portraits hang and look thereon Ireland's history in their lineaments trace think where man's glory most begins and ends and say my glory was I had such friends.
But I, being poor, have only my dreams I have spread my dreams under your feet Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
Man can embody truth but he cannot know it.
