THE OTHER SIDE by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: YOUR SIDE IS GOLD, THE OTHER SIDE IS BRASS?
Last Line: LOOK ON THE OTHER SIDE.

Your side is gold, the other side is brass?
Perhaps; but stay your pride.
Gold may be tarnished, brass be radiant:
Look on the other side.

Your side is true, the other side is false?
Perhaps; but time and tide
Have often overturned the thoughts of men:
Look on the other side.
