Don't Quit
When things go wrong
as they sometimes will,
when the road you're trudging
seems as an uphill:
When the funds are low
and the debts are high:
And you want to smile,
but you have to sign;
When care is pressing you
down a bit . . .
Rest if you must,
but don't you quit.
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 a far,
So stick to the fight
when you're the hardest hit . . .
It's when things go wrong,
that you must not quit.
