If you've tried and have not won,

Never stop for crying;

All that's great and good is done

Just by patient trying.

Though young birds, in flying, fall,

Still their wings grow stronger;

And the next time they can keep

Up a little longer.

Though the strong tree has known

Many blows of stormy winds,

She has risen again, and grown

Higher and prouder.

If by easy work you beat,

Who the more will prize you?

Gaining success fromdefeat-

That's the test that tries you!
