SOME ONE SAYS IT CAN’T BE DONE.
Someone says it can’t be done. Do it! Every battle can be won. To it! Doubt, despair, and hesitation Spell the doom of till creation, He who wins is he who weathers Through it. Some one wonders, waits and weeps Loses! He who close to victory keeps (’hooses Faith and work, and never lingers, Counting failure on his fingers, Hut with courage every ‘‘Halt!" Refuses.
Some one takes the darkest night And lights it. With a gleaming sword of hope Smites it. Changes doleful gloom to dawn. And when every cloud is gone, i/ooks to find another foe And fights it. —Leigh Mitchell Hodges, in Uhiladcl phin "North American.”
