INSPIRATION.


And out of the vast uncaring throng
There's never word that's cheering.
Though fortune shun me soon and late
And Destiny jolt and shove me,
I'll keep my nerve and I'll laugh at fate,
! While have friend to love mel
If have one friend who is real and true
One friend who will not falter,
I'll fight the world and the devil too
And never my heart shall falter,
Though know despair and know defeat
And the clouds hang black above me,
I'll fear no fate that is mine to meet
! While'I have friend to love mel
