'Tis a lesson you should heed--
Try again;
If at first you
don't succeed,
Try again.
Then your courage should
appear;
For if you will persevere,
You will conquer, never
fear,
Try again.
Once or twice though you should fail,
If you would at last
prevail,
Try again.
If we strive, 'tis no disgrace
Though
we did not win the race--
What should you do in that case?
Try
again.
If you find your task is hard.
Try again;
Time will bring
you your reward,
Try again;
All that other folk can do,
Why
with patience should not you?
Only keep this rule in view,
Try
again.
by William Hickson, 1803-1870
