"If at first you don't succeed, Try, try again," -- That's a manly sort of creed For boys and men. Trying doesn't cost a cent, May win a prize; Men that mope in discontent Will never rise. There is magic in a try, Vigor and vim; He that trusts in "by and by," Look out for him! You will never know your strength Without a test; Just by Better Street at length One reaches Best. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE COMING OF WAR: ACTAEON by EZRA POUND MATRES DOLOROSAE by ROBERT SEYMOUR BRIDGES ON THE ROAD by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR LET THE LIGHT ENTER (THE DYING WORDS OF GOETHE) by FRANCES ELLEN WATKINS HARPER TOMMY [ATKINS] by RUDYARD KIPLING THE SECRETARY; WRITTEN AT THE HAGUE, 1696 by MATTHEW PRIOR |
