PERSEVERANCE,.

Finish what thou hast to do,
Prove thy right to wear crown;
BraveIy tread thy journey through
Ere the sun goes down.
Lay some stone each passing hour
In thy palace of renown;
Run the flag up on the tower
Ere the sun goes down.
Crowd thy bark, though storm-sailed,
Over seas that seek to drown,
To the harbor.mouth, full-sailed,
Ere the sun goes down.
Stand up bravely in the fight.
Play the king and not the clown;
Clear the trenches, storm the hight,
Ere the sun goes down.
Plow thy furrow in lie's field,
Though the heavens may smile or isown
Falter not, look back nor yield,
Til the sun goes down.
r thou canst not reap, then CLEAN
Midst the stubble bare and brown;
Search the field and leave it.clean
