if you can keep your head when all about
you are losing theirs and blaming it on
you
you can trust yourself
when all men doubt you but make
allowance for their doubting too
you can wait
and not be tired by waiting or being
lied about don't deal in lies or being
hated don't give me don't look to her
I talk too wise you can't dream
and not make dreams your master
you can't think
and not make thoughts your aim you can
meet with triumph and disaster and treat
those two Impostors just the same
to hear the TV :
twisted by knaves to make a trap
watch the things you gave your life to
broken
you can make one
risk it on one turn exit off
start again at your beginnings and never
breathe a word about your love you can
force your heart and nerve and sinew to
serve your turn long after they are gone
and so hold on there's nothing in you
except the will which says to them hold
on you can talk with crowds and keep
your virtue or walk with Kings nor lose
the common touch neither foes nor loving
friends can hurt you if all men count
with you the unforgiving minute with
sixty seconds worth of distance run
yawns this year
and everything that's in it
the
watch
oh
