Wake Up...

Awakening!

When the heart is low
And seems a leaden dough;
When the eyes are crossed
And vision is aimlessly tossed;
When the ears are deaf
And hearing a hundred stuff;
When the food is tasteless
And essesnce of life baseless;
When the shoulders are drooping
And the heart skips popping;
When the arms feel weary
And tick of life dreary;
When the legs seem to quiver
And send a curse to the liver;
When the ground seems like air
And all seems cruel and bare;
Awake o man! and rise to aim
Win the battle and rise to fame;
For victory is, when you take the blow
Then hardening yourself, give an equal show;
To sleep at peace in an honourable grave
As fortune is known to favour the brave.
