Don’t Quit

When things go wrong,
as they sometimes will,
When the road your trudging
seems all uphill,
When the funds are low,
and the debts are hight,
and you want to smile,
but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
the silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And never can you tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when your’e hardest hit,
It’s when things seems worse,
That you must not quit.”
