Yorkshire Ditties, Second Series

Persevere.

Reading edition

If you fail don't be downhearted,

Better times come by-and-by;

Soon you'll find all fears departed,

If you'll only boldly try

He who would climb up a mountain,

Must not sit him down and cry;

At the top you'll find the fountain,

And you'll reach it if you'll try

Though your comrades call it folly,

Persevere, you'll win the day;

Never let Dick, Tom, or Polly,

Stop you on your onward way,

There is always joy in striving,

Though you fix your goal so high;

Nearer every day arriving,

You may reach it if you try

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
