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 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 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 worst that you
mustn't quit.
-Leo Piggott
