LESSON 2
TRY, TRY AGAIN

1. ’Tis a lesson you should heed,

Try, try again;

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.

2. 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.

3. If you find your task is hard,

Try, try again;

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.
