SING A SONG.

You'll force the ever-reuctant cheers
That the world denies when a coward cries.
TO give TO the man who bravely tries;
And you'll win success with little song
II you'll sing the song as you go aong!
II you'll sing song as you plod along.
You'll find that tho busy. rushing throng
That the sun viii follow the binding rain; ~
That the clouds will fly from the blackened SKY
That the stars will come out by and by;
And you'll make new friends TIL hope descends
From where the placid rainbow bends;
And all becalse Of little song
II you'll sing the song as you plod aioHB!
II you'll sing a song as you trudge along.
You'll see that the singing will make you strohs'
And the heavy lead and the rugged road ...
And the sting and the stripe Of the tortuous goad
VIII soar with the note that you set aioat;
That the beam Will change to triing motei
That the world is bad when you are sad.
A Ra G a Re an need Sen e wsen glad
II you'll sing the song as you trudge along!
