[6:30] Poem “Don’t Quit”
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out–
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Summertime
A SONNET TO SUMMER
How bright the effulgent beams which crown the hills,
And flood the world with beauteous, golden light!
The earth from sea to sea is beaming bright
With dazzling beauty, all the air it fills,
And in my saddened heart new hope instills,
Which frees it for a moment from its blight.
See all around is bloom, the mountain height,
And forest glade and banks of rippling rills.
O summer season, gladdest of the year,
Sweet, radiant season, loving, blooming time,
To me thy sunlit scenes are ever dear,
My heart is filled with the music of thy chime
Thy warm sun soothes like a maiden’s kiss the soul
And cheers and thrills and beautifies life’s; whole.
~Colfax Burgoyne Harman
