HOLD TO THE QUEST.

HOLD TO THE QUEST. You shall weep, brolxen-heartedly kneehhs At the altars of pain and despair While a cloud OCT the heavens piue stealing Sets a blot and a shadow shape there. You shall harbor the grief of the dultlei And the fellow who loses the game Be it love he elects, or the bitter Pursuit of earth's riches and fame. Therell be glooms to envelop your splrlt' Poor toiler, no matter how strong, To wrest the rewards of your merit And silence the note of your song. Theren be days when the future IS shrouded In a veil of funereal mist When the sow-creeping hour is erowdeo With reverses-a heart-rendtng nst. Therell be nights when the heavens VIII mock you, As you wander alone through the vast And the rushes of memory will shock you With the myriad dreams of the past. There1l be times when you'll long to sur render To the lure of base-born desire And rest where no obstacles hinder, And lose through inscton the fire Of pure and lofty endsavor- God grant that you heed not the call! Once yielded, you're lost-lost forever To your duty, the fairest of all!
