Revisited
Feel the urge to repost this ditty I found when visiting Avebury on Lughnasad 2002.
Don't give up
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile but have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about
When you might have won had you stuck it out
Don't give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the cloud of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
Its when things seem worst
You must not quit
Don't give up
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile but have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns
And many a failure turns about
When you might have won had you stuck it out
Don't give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the cloud of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
Its when things seem worst
You must not quit
