Paddle Your Own Canoe.

Up this world, and down this world,
And over this world and through,
Though drilted about,
Aud tossed without,
Why, paddle your own canoe.
What though the skyis heavy with clouds
Or shining field Of blue;
If the bleak wind blows,
Or the sunshine glows,
Still paddle your own canoe. I
What if breakers rise up ahead,
With dark waves rushing through,
Move steadily by
With n stcadlast eye,
And paddle ~o9r cwu canoe.
If hurricane rise in the midnight skies,
Ind the stars are lost to view,
Glide safely along,
With a smile and a song,
Aud paddle your own canoe.
Up to this world, and down this world,
All over this world and through,
Though weary aud worn,
Bcreit and fUrlorn,
Sill paddle your own canoe.
Never give up whon trials come,
Never grow sad and blue;
Never sit down
With tear or frown,
But paddle your own canoe.
There are daisis sprinsing along the shore.
Blooming and sweet for you;
There are rosc-hncd dyes
In the autumn skies,
Then paddle your own canoe,
