LESSON 2

TRY, TRY AGAIN

试一次，再试一次

1．'T is a lesson you should heed,

Try, try again;

If at first you don't succeed,

Try, try again;

Then your courage⁽¹⁾ should appear,

For, if you will persevere,

You will conquer⁽²⁾, never fear;

Try, try again.

2．Once or twice though you should fail,

Try, try again;

If you would at last prevail⁽³⁾,

Try, try again;

If we strive, 't is no disgrace⁽⁴⁾

Though we do not win⁽⁵⁾ 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⁽⁶⁾,

Try, try again.

All that other folks can do,

Why, with patience⁽⁷⁾, should not you?

Only keep this rule in view:

Try, try again.
