2.1 Try Again

2.1 Try Again

Try Again

’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,

Try again;

If you would at last prevail,

Try again;

If we strive ’tis no disgrace

Though we do not win the race;

What should we 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, may not you?

Only keep this rule in view,

Try again.

- W.E. Hickson
