Old farmers, travelers, workmen (no matter how crippled or
bent,)
Old sailors, out of many a perilous voyage, storm and wreck,
Old soldiers from campaigns, with all their wounds, defeats and
scars;
Enough that theyve survived at all long lifes unflinching ones!
Forth from their struggles, trials, fights, to have emerged at all
in that alone,
True conquerors oer all the rest.
