WEEP NOT.

 Weep not, friend, o'er your condition, He who tries can find a way; Labor, and to God petition, Strive, and you will rise some day. 

 Let your steps be sure and steady, Push ahead and never stop; Though the field seems filled already, There is room still at the top. 

 If you wish to climb life's ladder, Start to climb it from the ground; If great your strength it makes it sadder To have to climb it round by round.
