Don't Quit!
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 strange with its twists and
turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it
out.
Don't give up through 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 afar
So stick to the fight when you're
hardest hit
It's when things seem the worst
That You Mustn't Quit!
