LOOK up, not down
At all this little life's mistakes!
Quick, smooth away that scornful frown —
There! Now a little smile awakes.
Look up, not down;
Good cheer brings back the old renown.
Aye, when the light of morning breaks
And saddened earth at last awakes,
Where, think you, we shall wear our crown?
Look up, not down!
