Q: In the Twilight Zone episode, "The Changing of the Guard," one of the characters recites a poem that starts "I will be true" and I think the professor in the story says it was by Herbert? Can you please tell me if this is a real poem and author and can if it is?
A: The poet named in the episode:
Howard Arnold Walter, who wrote in 1906:
The poem is "I Would Be True."
"I would be true for there are those who trust me.
I would be pure for there are those who care.
I would be strong for there is much to suffer
and I would be brave for there is much to dare."
There are two other verses. Read them here:

I remember that episode - and I kind of remember the poem, but I don't recall what it was - sorry.
I remember that one. I believe it is titled "The Changing of the Guard," although I don't recall the poem.
I remember that episode very well. it takes place about Christmas time and the professor is thinking of shooting himself. When he goes to his classroom, however, he is paid a ghostly visit by former students who convince him that his life is still worth saving. Look at what he taught them! Bravery, truth, etc.
Unfortunately, I don't remember the poem that was used, however.
