II CANT"
81 Can't lacks in nerve; he's too
faint of heart
To pitch in like a man and do his
part;
He's none of the spirit that fights and
wins;
He admits he's beaten before he be-
gins.
~ Can't" sees mountains what
Recognize as mole hills; ambition
dies,
And leaves him complaining in help
less wrath,
When the first obstacle blocks his
path.
81 Can't has a notion that, out of
spite,
He's being cheated of what's his right.
The men who succeed by hard work
and pluck,
He envies and sneers at as Fools for
1uck!"
II Can't" is loafer, who won't admit
That his life's the mess he has made
of it;
The treasure that's sparkling beneath
his ey-,
He thinks he can't reach-and won't
even try.
Il Can't has a feeling the worlds in
debt
To him for living he's failed to get;
But, given a chance to collect, he'll
About past failures, and whine, i
can'tp

81 WILL
81 WIZ has spirit that nothing
! Once he gets his eye on the thing he
wants
He rolls up his sleeves and he pitches
With splendid zeal that is bound to
win
II Will" never hesitates lest he fail
In his heart he's sure that he will
prevail
No mountain can halt him, however
high;
There's no task so hard but he'll have
try.
Il VIII sets his teeth when things
start off wrong;
He Just grins, and mutters: This
can't last long.
| I'll take a fresh start; and Adversely
Will be going some if he catches me"
"I WIZ has a punch hid in either
| hand;
He has training, strength, and heap
of sand;
He swings his hard fists in the worlds
grim face,
And he bangs away till the world
gives place.
al WIFI understands in his own
strength lies
The one chance he'll get at the things
| men prize.
Encouragement, failure-nothing can
! chill
| The stout heart OF him who declares
II will"
