A NEW YEAR'S PLEAby Edgar Guest Lord, let me stand in the thick of the fight,Let me bear what I must without whining;Grant me the wisdom to do what is right,Though a thousand false beacons are shining. Let me be true as the steel of a blade,Make me bigger than skillful or clever;Teach me to cling to my best, unafraid,And harken to false gospels, never. Let me be brave when the burden is great,Faithful when wounded by sorrow;Teach me, when troubled, with patience to waitThe better and brighter to-morrow. Spare me from hatred and envy and shame,Open my eyes to life's beauty;Let not the glitter of fortune or fameBlind me to what is my duty. Let me be true to myself to the end,Let me stand to my task without whining;Let me be right as a man, as a friend,Though a thousand false beacons are shining.
