Yes this is his most famous, and often tops UK surveys for the most-liked poem, no doubt because it seems to get taught quite often for the purpose of moral improvement in schools. And it contains a lot of truth, certainly. I find it rather poignant, bearing in mind the death of Kipling's son in the First World War, from which I gather he never really recovered.

THey are similar in theme so it isn't a HUGE mix-up.

None of us is perfect

Cheers!

Thanks. My father taught us both poems because they were among his favorites. I should have remembered.

Man, that needs updating in the 21st century (last line).

That's okay - thanks for reminding me of Invictus. The movie wasn't bad either!

Cheeers!
