The Family Circle
LOYALTY
Whatever you did in the years that are gone, In the year that is yours to-day, Lift up your brow in the light of' the sun, ?fi Be loyal and brave, I pray. '
Be true to the best that is in your soul, - 'And follow your high ideal, And so, as the beautiful seasons roll, j You shall see your dreams grow real.
Be true and dare for the right, my friend, Fear nothing and dread no blame, In this brief life, all' hastes to an end, Save only the weird of shame.
The' loyal heart is never alone, . There are ever comrades real, Who will make the cause you love their v own, And stand by you staunch as steel.
Steadfast, unswerving, and pure of heart, Meet shadow and shine alike, And shunning only. the coward's part, Learn when to wait, or to strike.
