>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,
When 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 failure was turned about,
When she might have won had she stuck it out.
Don’t give up, though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems to far.
So stick in the fight when you’re hardest hit,
It’s when things seem worst,
that you must not quit.
