As he walks along his rooad,

Niver need be tired wi' huggin,

For he'll have a little looad.

Owt 'at's worth a body's winnin

Mun be toiled for long an' hard;

An' tho' th' struggle may be pinnin,

Perseverance wins reward.

Earnest thowt, an' constant striving,

Ever wi' one aim i'th' seet;

Tho' we may be late arrivin,
