To dream the impossible dream,
To fight the unbeatable foe,
To bear with
unbearable sorrow,
To run where the brave dare not go,
To right the unrightable
wrong,
To love, pure and chaste, from afar;
To try when your arms are too weary;
To reach the unreachable star.
"This is my Quest---to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless,
No matter how
far,
To fight for the right without question or pause,
To be willing to march
into hell for a heavenly cause!
And I know, if I'll only be true to this glorious Quest,
That my heart will lie
peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest.
And the world will be better for this---
That one man, scorned and covered with
scars,
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable
star.
