The Obstacle Race
By Ethel M. Dell
1921
I DEDICATE THIS BOOK
TO MY DEAR "HALF-SISTER,"
MARY,
WITH MY LOVE
"So run, that ye may obtain."--_I Corinthians 9:24_
Give me the ready brain and steadfast face
To dare the hazard and to run the race,
The high heart that no scathing word can stay
O'erleaping obstacles that bar the way,
The sportsman's soul that, failing at the end,
Can smile upon the victory of a friend,
And to my judges make this one protest,--
A poor performance but--I did my best!
