  2. Keep Hoping On

    Share Share Post
    I
    Keep hoping on though worn and weak
    Let black despair ne'er blanch your cheek
    Success oft crowns the shy and meek
    Through hoping on
    II
    Keep hoping on when odds are great
    E'en though your efforts seem too late
    You'll batten down the gates of fate
    Through hoping on
    III
    Keep going on when all seems dark
    E'en though you've touched the lowest mark
    Ideals repressed soar like the lark
    Through hoping on.
