EVIL CHANCE.
When falls the hour of evil chance,—
And hours of evil chance will fall,—
Strike, though with but a broken lance,—
Strike, though you have no lance at all.
And hours of evil chance will fall,—
Strike, though with but a broken lance,—
Strike, though you have no lance at all.
Shrink not, whate'er the odds may be,—
Shrink not, however dark the hour,—
The barest possibility
Of good deserves your utmost power.
Shrink not, however dark the hour,—
