IF any round about me play, <br />And dance and sing in glad array, <br />And laugh and cheer, <br />May it be mine to see and hear. <br /> <br />If any toil at noble things, <br />And strive the higher levellings <br />To reach and win. <br />May it be mine to join therein. <br /> <br />If any grieve or suffer pain, <br />And tears fall like the summer rain <br />From troubled skies, <br />May it be mine to sympathize!<br /><br />John Kendrick Bangs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/may-it-be-mine/
