‘The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the / street. '-PROVERBS xxvi. 13.
There are no lions in the street; / No lions in the way. / Go seek the goal, thou slothful soul, / Awake, awake, I say.
Thou dost but dream of obstacles; / In God's great lexicon, / That word illstarred, no page has marred; / Press on, I say, press on.
Nothing can keep thee from thine own / But thine own slothful mind. / To one who knocks, each door unlocks; / And he who seeks, shall find.
