NEVER QUIT STEEMITES

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the fund 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 twist and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out,
Don't give up, through the pace seems low,
You might succeed with another blow

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler have given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned to late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown

Success is failure turn inside out,
The sliver 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
