We never know what we can do, Until we try; He who accomplishes the least, Stands idly by; While he who makes the most of life, Keeps plodding on, And earns at least his perfect rest When strength is gone. We never know what we can do, Until we dare; He who would gain the victor’s place, Must not despair; For tho’ life’s burdens seem too great, The way too long, He will succeed who conquers doubt By prayer and song. |
