KEEP TRYING

By Advance

If boys should get discouraged At lessons and at work, And say, "Ther's no use trying," And all hard tasks should shirk, And keep on shirking, shirking, Till the boy became a man, I wonder what the world would do To carry out its plan!

The coward in the conflict Gives up at first defeat; If once repulsed, his courage Lies shattered at his feet. The brave heart wins the battle, Because, through thick and thin, He'll not give up as conquered— He fights, and fights to win.

So, boys, don't get disheartened Because at first you fail; If you but keep on trying, At last you will prevail; Be stubborn against failure; Try, try, and try again; The boys who kept on trying Have made the world's best men. —Advance.
