FAINT NOT UNTIL YOU TRY
It is not so—you ean regain your place. One fall brings not defeat. Nor loss. Unless your conscience stings From some fell thing you did, And drives you on to slink along with Those who prowl in darkened corners Fearsome of remorse and haunting visions grim. You can regain your place in life, For none but you can say How you shall climb, or why. If weak you slip and fail to grasp the rung, Then try anew to blaze away and Conquer all the handicaps in equal pace With winners in the race of life. Faint not until you try,—and try Until you win your place again.
—S. T. H.
