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.
