What
are the qualities of ideal manhood? Various people have given
various
answers to this question. Here the poet states what qualities he
thinks
indispensable.
Four things a man must learn to do
If he would make his record true:
To think without confusion clearly;
To love his fellow-men sincerely;
To act from honest motives purely;
To trust in God and Heaven securely.
By Henry Van Dyke
From "Collected Poems."
