DON'T
QUIT
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the roads you are trudging seem 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 QUIT
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As everyone of us sometimes learn and
Many a fellow turn about
When he might have won have he stuck it out
Don't give up though the pace seem slow -
You may succeed with another blow
The goal is nearer than
It seem to a faint and faltering man
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have capture the victor's cup
And he learn too late when he might come down
How close he was to the golden crown
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tints of the clouds of doubts,
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems afar;
To stick to the fight when you are hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit
