"TRYING."
Wh.it matters the thing you have failed to do? The breeze is cool and the skies are blue, The streamlets sin#, and the plains are wide. What matters it that you failed —you tried ? You tried to do it, and failed, that’s all; M.’ Yojli triedio and,you had a fall. 'There yet are rnzes tor you to win, And there’s fignl in you. Sail inf Sail in! What matters the goal you have failed to make? Tass by the grieving, forget the ache; The winds are cool and the skies are blue, And those who loved you believe in you. And there are goals you yet may attain, And there are heights that you vet may gain; Cio to it laughing and eager-eyed ; The men who fail are the men who tried. The men who fail are the men who went At a thing worth doing till they were spent; And it wasn’t a failure; you’ll trv again. And you’ll win to the goal, and then You will see how deep are the skies and blue When the ones you love shall be proud of you. And what will voir failure be to you then ? Men never fail who dare try again.
