First lines
To keep my health! To do my work! To live! To see to it I grow and gain and give! Never to look behind me for an hour! To wait in weakness, and to walk in power; But always fronting onward to the light, Always and always facing toward the right. Robbed, starved, defeated, fallen, wide astray- On, with what strength I have! Back to the way!
