No matter how strong or clever,
Some one will sneer if you pause to hear,

And wherever you chance to hit it,
Though close be your aim to the bull's-eye fame,
There are those who will never admit it.

a joyful new future for yourself.

Surrounded by the winds and the rain,

a time for repose and contemplation.

and ready to play again.

or too menial when offered
to Thee in loving service.
