THE MAN WHO TRIES
Sing me a song of the man who tries, - The man who pictures his goal ahead, And keeps it before his eyes, Determined to reach it with faithful tread; Who fails to-day, but to-morrow comes Right back to the hill he wants to climb, And a merry song from his heart he hums — There is the man who will win some time. Sing me a song of the man who tries, The man who follows a certain way, Who journeys on under leaden skies, Content with the progress made each day; Who slips and falls, but with courage great And faith in himself that is sublime, Still fights his battle with man and fate — There is the man who will win some time.
