« Try" Ami " Caut."
BY BILLIE E. MUI. The fox said " Try," and he got away From dogs, that had chased him all the day. I The Bees said " Try," through the • summer hours, And so to honey was turned the flowers. The Squirrel said " Try," and quick and free, He went to the top of the highest tree. The new-fledged Lark said only " Try," And singing he flew to the far blue sky. "Try" ploughed the field and reaped the wheat, " Try " run the race : " Try " won the scat. " Try " gained the port 'gainst wind and tide, " Try " gathered the gold and won the bride " Try " filled the hole, and mended the rent, " Try " won and conquered wherever he went. But " I-cau't-do-it," since he was born, Has never won anything else but scorn. — New York Ledger
