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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN CHILDREN SELECTING BOOKS IN A LIBRARY by RANDALL JARRELL COME TO THE STONE ... by RANDALL JARRELL THE LOST WORLD by RANDALL JARRELL A SICK CHILD by RANDALL JARRELL CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS ON THE DEATH OF FRIENDS IN CHILDHOOD by DONALD JUSTICE THE POET AT SEVEN by DONALD JUSTICE TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
