Try, Try Again
William Hickson

‘Tis a lesson you should heed,
If at first you don’t succeed,
Try, try again;

Then your courage should appear,
For if you will persevere,
You will conquer, never fear,
Try try again.

Once or twice, though you should fail,
Try, try again;
If you would at last prevail,
Try, try again;

If we strive, ‘tis no disgrace
Though we do not win the race; 
What should you do in the case?
Try, try again.

If you find your task is hard,
Time will bring you your reward,
Try, try again; 

All that other folks can do,
Why, with patience, should not you?
Only keep this rule in view: 
Try, try again.
