<h2 id="id00681" style="margin-top: 3em">Life's Battles</h2>
<p id="id00682" style="margin-top: 2em"> Life's battles thou must fight all single-handed;<br/>
No friend, however dear, can bear thy pain.<br/>
No other soul can ever bear thy burdens,<br/>
No other hand for thee the prize may gain<br/></p>
<p id="id00683"> Lonely we journey through this vale of sorrow;<br/>
No heart in full respondeth to our own:<br/>
Each one alone must meet his own tomorrow,<br/>
Each one must tread the weary way alone<br/></p>
<p id="id00684"> Ah, weary heart! why art thou sad and lonely?<br/>
Why this vain longing for an answering sigh?<br/>
Thy griefs, thy longings, trials, and temptations<br/>
Are known and felt by Him who reigns on high.<br/></p>
