Don't Quit

[Betty]

                              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 you frown a bit,
       Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

       Life is strange with its twists 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 though the pace seems slow,
       You may succeed with another blow.

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