THE ROAD TO fJLORY
You‘11 never get to glory, lad, along
the glittering road.
Your shoulders must be big and
strong to bear the heavy load
And you must put the pleasure by
The painted cheek and smiling eye
The merry dance arid rousing song,
• to do what duty asks.
The road to glory’s straigtit and
far
Away from where the revels are,
With many a dusty mile to tread
and countless dreary tasks.
Two ways there are for youth to go
and one is gay with song,
The other calls for earnest men and
rugged hearts and strong.
Bewitching sirens lure the feet
Of those who sigh for pleasures
sweet,
But when the purse is empty, bey, in
scorn they pass you by;
‘Tis time enough to dance and
sing
When you have done some useful
thing,
And youth must strike for goals afar
which old men dare not try.
You’ll never get to glory, lad, by
traveling pleasure’s way;
■Who steps aside for dance and game
shall see his strength decay-
So bend your shoulders to the load
And trudge the rough and dusty
road,
And choose the brave and earnest
souls
Whose eyes are turned to distant
goals,
And they shall make you strong and
wise and peace shall dwell
with you.

he for the one day shows lots of
pep that will make you do'lots oi
laughing.
