Keep pushing— 'tis wiser Than sitting aside, And dreaming and sighing, And waiting the tide.
In life's earnest battle They only prevail Who daily march forward And never say fail !
In life's rosy morning, In manhood's firm pride, Let this be the motto Your footsteps to guide.
In storm and in sunshine Whatever assail, We'll onward and conquer, And never say fail !
