TRY AGAIN by ANONYMOUS

First Line: TIS A LESSON YOU SHOULD HEED
Last Line: ONLY KEEP THIS RULE IN VIEW - / TRY AGAIN
Subject(s): CHILDREN; CHILDHOOD;
'T is a lesson you should heed,
Try, try, try again;
If at first you don't succeed,
Try, try, try again.
Once or twice though you should fail,
Try again;
If you would at last prevail,
Try again.
If we strive, 't is no disgrace
Though we may 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 folks can do,
With your patience should not you?
Only keep this rule in view --
Try again.
