Poem by Stephen Crane

"Have you ever made a just man?"

”Have you ever made a just man?”
”Oh, I have made three,” answered God,
”But two of them are dead,
And the third --
Listen! Listen!
And you will hear the thud of his defeat.”

1. A man toiled on a burning road
2. Upon the road of my life
3. The successful man has thrust himself
4. I stood upon a highway
5. Mystic shadow, bending near me
