If by Kipling

IF was written by Rudyard Kipling in 1895, inspired by his friend Dr. Leander Starr Jameson of whose character it speaks. Jameson led a failed British raid against the Boers in South Africa in 1895. Subsequently imprisoned, Jameson never lost his courage and dignity. This poem is a favorite of millions and is taught in schools worldwide.
