I'm not good at detecting irony, but I think it's the part that says "failures hold success"

Answer 4

Success is Counted Sweetest

By Emily wingspaninson

Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.
Not one of all the purple host
Who took the flag to-day
Can tell the definition,
So clear, of victory!
As he, defeated, dying,
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Burst agonized and clear!
