埃德加·艾伯特·格斯特( Edgar A.Guest)有哪些著名的诗吗?其中有没有一首中心意思是对自己真实的短诗?

今天刚好在一本书上看到了作者引用了一首短诗,于是搜索了诗人埃德加·格斯特,然后发现这条,短诗中译后为:
《我对自己真实吗》
我不能在坐享其成,
所以是时候让自己幡然醒悟。
时光飞逝,我期待证明自己的成长,
在目光中看到坚定正直的自己。
不愿在日薄西山之时,
看到孤立无助的自己。
至若惘然,不愿靠在闭室辗转反侧,
自欺欺人,以为世人戳穿不了真实的自己,
在虚假中盛装粉饰并非我愿。
我只要抬头挺胸,赢得尊重,
即使在名利之争中也能够爱护自己,
而非随波逐流,虚张声势。
我不愿再愚弄自己,愚弄众人,
所以无论世事如何变迁,
始终自尊,自重,良心永存。
/*同时我查了一下原文,不知道对你有没有帮助
《Am I True to Myself?》——Edgar Guest
I have to live with myself, and so
I want to be fit for myself to know,
I want to be able, as days go by,
Always to look myself straight in the eye;
I don't want to stand, with the setting sun,
And hate myself for things I have done.
I don't want to keep on a closet shelf
A lot of secrets about myself,
And fool myself, as I come and go,
Into thinking that nobody else will know
The kind of man I really am;
I don't want to dress up myself in sham,
I want to go out with my head erect,
I want to deserve all men's respect;
But here in the struggle for fame and pelf
I want to be able to like myself.
I don't want to look at myself and know
That I'm bluster and bluff and empty show.
I can never hide myself from me;
I see what others may never see;
I know what others may never know,
I never can fool myself, and so,
Whatever happens, I want to be
Self-respecting and conscience free.
