Failure shall stop me not – success shall be mine
Nobody shall tell me where to draw the line
I have made up my mind, and it shall remain firm
No longer, shall it, like in the past, squirm.
No wanton trick shall make me relent
No lure shall prove so strong
For I shall prove that I am a gent
Who knows the right from wrong.
‘forward’ shall be my motto, like that of all brave men
I shall even try to scare the beast from its den
Success shall be mine, so lead me on, then,
O thou, my great Creator, who are greater than all men.
