Stand straight: br Step firmly, throw your weight: br The heaven is high above your head, br The good gray road is faithful to your tread. br br Be strong: br Sing to your heart a battle song: br Though hidden foemen lie in wait, br Something is in you that can smile at Fate. br br Press through: br Nothing can harm you if you are true. br And when night comes, rest: br The earth is friendly as a mother s breast.
