KEEP CHEERFUL.
Why fret and fume and worry
And make things worse, say I:
Since We can't help what's happened,
So laugh away the sigh.
We can all do more than we have
done,
And not be whit the worse.
IL never was loving that emptied the
heart,
Nor giving that emptied the purse.
Be true to yourself as you go through
life,
To the best that is in you, my
friend,
Though temptation and sorrow walk
fast by your side,
Be true to yourself to the end.
Don't yield to the vices that others
affect,
For fear Of their laughter and
Jeers,
30 true to yourself, and walk proudly
erect,
And leave them the coward who
fears.
Don't scorn the poor fellow that
others pass by,
Though rent are the garments he
wears,
Give clasp of the hand or a brave
CHEEKY word
To tighten the weight of his cares.
Be true to yourself and lose not your
faith
In the Hand that is over us all.
That He chastens in love, though the
pathway be dark,
Or sorrows with crushing force
fall.
Be true 10 yourself and work faith
fully on
In the pathway that duty makes
clear
Keep courage and heart, though your
labor seems lost
And no word comes to comfort or
cheer.
Though reproaches and calumnies
cumber your faith,
And friends that you trusted in fail,
BE true TO yourself, to conscience, to
right
For right in the end will prevail.
