OBSCURITY.
There's a song for the man who is
lucky and bold.
For the man who has fate on his side;
There are cheers for the folk that are
jingling the gold
And are drift ing along with i he tide.
But the man who is striving to get to
the land
And facing the hungry wave’s crest.
We quite overlook, for we don’t under
stand
The fellow that’s doing his best.
But he has his reward when the story
is done,
Though we smile as he plods on his
way,
For his own self-esteem is the pride he
has w in,
As obscured he’s stood in the fray,
And be knows the affection of home
and of frien is
And the pleasures of honest-earm d
rest.
There are peace and good will as the
twilight descends.
For the fellow that’s doing ins best.
