When things go wrong,
as they  sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging
seems all up hill,
When the  funds are 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 you quit.

Life is queer
with its  twists and turns
As every one 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 never can tell
how close you are.
It may be mear
when it seems so far.
So stick to the fight
when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worse
that you must not  quit
.
