THE SONG OF THE NAIL

Hitting the nail on the heads the
thing,
That's the philosophy some folks
sing;
But driving it through and making
it clinch
On the other side is a terrible pinch,
Is better than all, than all to do
Clinching the nail that you've driv-
en- through.
Hitting and driving and clinch-
ing ii,
Making each blow strike home
Such is the secret of all success,
Art. or music, or poem.
Merely to hit it-that all can do;
Hitting and clinching and driving
through,
1t is never the half but the whole
that counts,
IT is never the one winged soul that
mounts,
But the balanced pinions, poised and
flung
To the peaks of glory toward which
they sprung;
Hitting and clinching and driving
through,
That is the best of all,
The winning note in the pulsing
throat
When the bugles of beauty call.
Hitting the nail on the heads all
right,
But it isn't the whole by terrible
sight,
It takes some skill and it takes some
pluck,
And often it's merely a stroke of
luck;
But driving it through and clinching
it, that
Is the thing makes the country toss
up its hat.
Hitting and driving and clinching
it,
It's the best of all to do
With the day and dream and the
golden deed
And the nail that you've driven
through!
