William Herbert Hudnut writes this virile advice for New Year’s time:
Quit you like men, be strong;
There’s a burden to bear,
There’s a grief to share,
There’s a heart that breaks ’neath a load of care--
But fare ye forth with a song.
Quit you like men, be strong;
There’s a battle to fight,
There’s a wrong to right,
There’s a God who blesses the good with might--
So fare ye forth with a song.
Quit you like men, be strong;
There’s a work to do,
There’s a world to make new,
There’s a call for men who are brave and true--
On! on with a song!
Quit you like men, be strong;
There’s a year of grace,
There’s a God to face,
There’s another heat in the great world race--
Speed! speed with a song!
