PERSEVERE.
Starting out to fight Life’s battles,
Persevere, persevere.
Though at first you may be worsted,
Persevere.
Though Life’s road be rough, and thorny,
Persevere, persevere.
Never falter by the wayside;
Persevere.
Though your burdens may be heavy,
Persevere, persevere.
Never drop them by the roadside;
Persevere.
Your ideal should be high heaven.
Persevere, persevere.
By perseverance you will gain it.
Persevere.
In this world, if seeking pleasure,
You will find, alas! but tears.
But in doing every duty,
Persevere.
E’en though hard may be the battle
For the right, for the right.
You must stand e’er by your colors.
Persevere.
Your companion must be Valor,
On your banner, Truth.
Perseverance be your pass-word.
Persevere.
If you’ve won in Life’s hard conflict;
You must still persevere.
For another life awaits you.
Persevere.
