HARD LUCK
Hard luck ! you say, because you failed to win, No luck about it, —failure lies within. The luck that made you lose the race you ran Was that you didn’t know the words ‘ I cam’ Hard luck! you say when, after you have fought, Another carries off the prize you sought. No luck about ityou will lose until You learn the meaning of the words ‘ I will.’ Hard luck! you say. What kind do you deserve? When every obstacle can make you swerve. Stick to your course — to heave that sigh; He conquers who .says earnestly, ‘l’ll try.’
