Stop Fretting.
When things don't come along your way, Can't' hurry 'em by frettin' ; If clouds o' care obscure your day, Can't chase 'em off by frettin'. Your tears just irrigate your woe An' freshen up an' help it grow — Don't wash it out o' sight — an' so There ain't no use in frettin'. The heavy load you have to bear Ain't lightened up by frettin' , The sorry vultures in. the air Ain't soared away by frettin'. If debt is crowdin', rent is due, No cash in hand, an' you are "blue " Brace up an' be a man, for you Can't right yourself bv frettin'. No matter what your cares an' woes, Don't humour 'em by frettin' • If hard luck aims her hea.vy blowsi Strike back — don't start on frettin'. Screw up your nerve an' hold your grip, An' keep a frozen upDer lip, For anything on earth oan whiD The man who -nts to frettin'.
