 | The Poetical Works of Walter C. Smith |  |
A WISH
Just a path that is sure,
Thorny or not,
And a heart honest and pure,
Keeping the path that is sure,
That be my lot:
Life is no merry-making,
Hark! how the waves are breaking!
Thorny or not,
And a heart honest and pure,
Keeping the path that is sure,
That be my lot:
Life is no merry-making,
Hark! how the waves are breaking!
230
Just plain duty to know,
Irksome or not,
And truer and better to grow
In doing the duty I know,
That I have sought:
Life is no merry-making,
How the stiff pine trees are quaking!
Irksome or not,
And truer and better to grow
In doing the duty I know,
That I have sought:
Life is no merry-making,
How the stiff pine trees are quaking!
Just to keep battling on,
Weary or not,
Sure of the Right alone,
As I keep battling on,
True to my thought:
Life is no merry-making,
Ah! how men's hearts are breaking!
Weary or not,
Sure of the Right alone,
As I keep battling on,
True to my thought:
Life is no merry-making,
Ah! how men's hearts are breaking!
