NO SURRENDER.
BY MARTIN F. TUPPER.
Ever constant, ever true,
Let the word be, No surrender!
Boldly dare, and greatly do!
This shall bring us bravely through;
No surrender, no surrender!
And though Fortune's smiles be few,
Hope is always springing new,
Still inspiring me and you
With a magic—No surrender!
Nail the colors to the mast,
Shouting gladly, No surrender!
Troubles near are all but past—
Serve them as you did the last
No surrender, no surrender!
Though the skies be overcast,
And upon the sleety blast
Disappointments gather fast,
Beat them off with, No surrender!
Constant and courageous still,
Mind, the word is, No surrender;
Battle, though it be uphill,
No surrender, no surrender!
Hope,—and thus your hope fulfil, —
There's a way where there's a will.
And the way all cares to kill
Is to give them—No surrender!
