MV BEST.
I.
I will do my best—for the task is
great—
And it challenges all my power,
I will summon the latent, dormant
strength,
And ev’ry resource, in the breadth
and length
Of the project fine—and early and
late
I will give it my best each hour!
11.
I will do my best —Though the job
is small m
And seemingly trivial—lest
It shall prove to be of the crisis
kind,
That turns the balance of fate; in
mind
And heart let me answer the call—
Be it only a whisper—and do my
best!
