If

1If—

2You Can Keep Your Head When All About You Are Losing Theirs and Blaming It on You—

3You Can Bear to Hear the Truth You’ve Spoken Twisted by Knaves to Make a Trap for Fools—

4You Can Force Your Heart and Nerve and Sinew to Serve Your Turn Long After They Are Gone—

5You Can Talk With Crowds and Keep Your Virtue or Walk With Kings nor Lose the Common Touch—

6Yours Is the Earth and Everything That’s in It—
