With lilly white hands so soft and tender
And nothing could find to do
But to wounder about the streets from morn

And 10 vast my fowery life away
And why was created to be of such
1t is not alone but behalf the world is of

Oh never schrink back from the lack of

But use hope and self determining power
And it will lead you on to victory
And never say fail and you never will fail
This world is all stage and each one
Must play his part from childhood until old
age
1t is nowthe young American thinks
He has play his part fool.

many vigorous efforts made TO get rid of the long
