THE KEY TO GREATNESS.
BY HARRIET y. FRANCIS,

BY HARRIET y. FRANCIS,
Onward, upward, ever striving,
Never halting by the way
This alone's the key to greatness
Strength of all that win the day.
Breasting firm the toll and turmoil,
That blocks up the path of life:
Pressing with an eye undaunted,
To the goal, amid the strife.
Shunning every fair delusion,
Which would WOO the soul 10 ease,
Binding eyes to syren pleasurs
Careless mortals gladly seize.
Closing ears to envy's whispers,
That would crush the spirit down;
Hoping, working never fainting,
Till success each effort crown.
