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 turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns.
And many a fellow 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.
Often
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 afar.
So stick to the fight when you're
hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that
you mustn't quit.
