Paul Laurence Dunbar - Keep A-Pluggin` Away
Work rating: Low

I`VE a humble little motto
That is homely, though it`s true, —
Keep a-pluggin` away.
It`s a thing when I`ve an object
That I always try to do, —
Keep a-pluggin` away.
When you`ve rising storms to quell,
When opposing waters swell,
It will never fail to tell, —
Keep a-pluggin` away.
If the hills are high before
And the paths are hard to climb,
Keep a-pluggin` away. 
And remember that successes
Come to him who bides his time, —
Keep a-pluggin` away.
From the greatest to the least,
None are from the rule released.
Be thou toiler, poet, priest,
Keep a-pluggin` away.
Delve away beneath the surface,
There is treasure farther down, —
Keep a-pluggin` away.
Let the rain come down in torrents,
Let the threat`ning heavens frown,
Keep a-pluggin` away.
When the clouds have rolled away,
There will come a brighter day
All your labor to repay, —
Keep a-pluggin` away.
There `ll be lots of sneers to swallow.
There`ll be lots of pain to bear, —
Keep a-pluggin` away. 
If you`ve got your eye on heaven,
Some bright day you`ll wake up there,
Keep a-pluggin` away.
Perseverance still is king;
Time its sure reward will bring;
Work and wait unwearying,—
Keep a-pluggin` away.
