HOLD YOUR HEAD UP LIKE A MAN.
If the stormy win is should rustle While you tread the world s highway Still against them bravely tussle, Hope and labour day by day ; Falter not, no matter whether There is sunshine, storm, or calm, And in every kind of weather Hold your head up like a man. If a brother should deceive you, And should act a traitor's part, Never let his treason grieve you, Jog alone with lightsome heart; Fortune seldom follows fawning, Boldness is the surer plan, Hoping for a better dawning. Hold your head up like a man. Earth, though e'er so rich and mellow, Yields not for the worthless drone, But the hold and honest fellow, He can shift and stand alone. Spurn the knave of every nation, Always do the best you can. And, no matter what your station, Hold your head up like a man.
