r CHEER UP
Though days o! strife be draw
ing near, though war may last
for many a year, it is not well to
yield to fear; cheer up! Dou't let
your optomiBin lade; you give
the foe untimely aid when of your
fears you make parade; cheer up!
I have three uncles bearing anus;
nine cousins went to war's alarms
. and vet mv smile retains its
charms; cheer up! They say we'll
noon be short of meat: we'll be
deprived of corn and wheat, but,
while we have enough to eat,
cheer up! They say we'll bear
upon our backs the burden of a
frightful tax; just now no man
that burden packs; cheer up!
They're saying this, and saying
that, designed to knock our spir
its flat, and "they" are talking
through a hat cheer up! Don't
cross a bridge until you're there;
don't starve until your cupbords
bare: cheer up. Don't try to chill
the hopeful chap; you'll never
; . u v. -
help him win a scrap by having
tears upon your map; cheer up.
Just now we need no talk o gloom
no prophecies of dole and doom;
be cheerful as the flowers in bloom
cheer up! Walt Mason.
