Show Keep at It. Work, and the world works for you; Quit, and the nobler things Of living and creed, Of thought and of deed, Are lost in the dust that it brings. Work, and the world works for you; Quit, and the rust begins To gather Its stain. On the brawn and the brain, v Corroding the spirit that wins. Work, and the world works for you; Quit, and the tale is told Of a weakling who Lacked the heart to do, And wearily let go his hold. Work, and the world works for you; Quit, and the hurrying throng Keeps on In the race For the foremost place, Although it be hard and long. Work, and the world works for yon; Quit, and it lets you drop. With your task undone And your race half run, For the world can never stop. J. P. Lampton. |
