When I must leave you for a little while, Please po on bravely with a gallant smile Andfor my sake and in my name, Live on and do all things the same Spend no; your life in empty days. But fill ei^h waking hour in useful ways Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer, And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near.
