Don't Quit
|
| Anonymous |
| |
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When
the funds are low and the debts are high,
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 its
turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And
many a failure turns about
When they might have won,
had they stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace
seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a
faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has
given up
When he might have captured the victor's
cup;
And he learned too late when the night came
down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver
tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell
how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so
far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit! |
