Get into the swing of the world! Rejoice in its clatter and hum. 0, do not shirk, but work, work, work, And be glad that there's work to be done! Be thou the world's brain or its brawn; Be the potter who mouldeth the clay; Be not afraid to blaze new trails, Though the millions throng the beaten way. Be cheerful, patient and true; Leaving follies and fashions to kings; Seek freedom of body and soul, And the deep joy of common things. Walk shoulder to shoulder with men, In defense of the right lift your voice; And do not shirk, but work, work, work. In the work of the world rejoice. Maud Baggabley. Salt Lake City, Utah.
