It isn't a gift that the fairies bestow, It isn't the thing you inherit, That makes you a genius — it's burning to know And working it up into merit; It's over-time, all-the-time bent on the game, That puts you at last in the public acclaim. It isn't a fling from defeat to success. It isn't a sunburst of glory, It's simply no more and it's simply no less Than is found in the commonest story: It's pegging and plugging at deeds that exceed, And sticking out till it has to succeed.
