Don't Quit

One of the most famous poems of all time without a known author.

When things go  wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're truding seems all uphill,

When the funds are low 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 quit.

 

Life is queer with its and its turns,

As everyone of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about

When they might have won, had they stuck it out.

Don't give up though the pace seems slow,

You may succeed another blow.

 

Often the goal is nearer than,

It seems to the faint and failtering man,

Often the struggler has given up

When he might hsave captured the victur's cup;

And he learned too too late when the night came down,

How close he was to the golden crown.

 

Succcess is failure turened inside out

The silver tint to the cloud of doubt

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far;

So stick to the fight when your hardest hit,

It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
