DOING.
Keep doing, always doing,
Wishing, dreaming, what are they?
Tempters idle steps pursuing,
Foemen ambushing the way.
Keep doing, bravely doing,
Never falter, never fail,
Day by day your strength renewing,
Gird your armor on, prevail!
Keep doing, wisely doing,
Working upward as you may;
Human interest accruing
Will a high percentage pay.
Keep doing, boldly doing,
Use the talents time may lend;
Right upholding, self reviewing,
The down-trodden truth defend.
Keep doing, ever doing,
Trusting, when you cannot see;
Fearing not, a tempest brewing,
Knowing what the end will be.
FOR FEEBLE HANDS.
It is not so much what we wish that counts,
As the little we really achieve;
The duty we do to-day amounts
To more than we ever perceive.
There are tasks just fitted for feeble hands,
For the feeble as well as the strong;
Be bold to stand where the right demands
And bound to vanquish wrong.
