Try Try Again ...

Hickson 2005 (Chandrapur)



' 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 ,
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 .

About this poem

You will conquer , never fear , Try , try again . Once or twice , through you should fail , Try , try again.
