That very often he was sad;
For by his mates at play and school
He was Knocked and termed a fool.
IT'S said-maybe 1t Is So
In his lessons he was slow.
Yet we come to learn how in later
years,
Undaunted now by unkind sneers.
He labored on and on, until
BY much patience and great skill,
He had given to the earth

Giving folks like you and nae
Things of which we would not dream
Judge not-think we'll on this theme.
