If the sun by the cloud is hidden a bit, If the welkin shows but gloom, Still hold on yet a while, a brave heart, The victory is sure to come. The duties of life are sore indeed, And its pleasures fleeting, vain, The goal so shadowy seems and dim, Yet plod on through the dark, brave heart, With all thy might and main. With thee are those who see afar, With thee is the lord of might, All blessings pour on thee great soul, To thee may all come right! -Swami Vivekananda
