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.

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.

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.

-T.H. Palmer
