ITS GREAT TO LIVE. What tho you have no piles of gold And wide renown, There's hope and happiness to hold For cen a clown What tho you have no auto cars And gauds to give, Beneath the glowing sun and stars It's great to live. Don't let the daily round of cares Upset your mind. There's not a man but fortune dares Be so unkind. Each burden that we bear grows light If we are brave And struggle on with all our might The goal to save. Remember, when inclined to droop, This single truth. valiant man can still reeoup, In spite of ruth. A This life is full of ups and downs. Of take and give. And while, some days, Dame Fortune
 frowns,
 It's great to live.
