Failure is a rocky hill: Climb it! Climb it with a will! Failure is a broken bone: Set it! Grin, and do not groan! Failure is a tangled string: Puzzle out the knotted thing! Failure is a river swift: Swim it! Swim, and do not drift! Failure is a black morass: Cross it! There are tufts of grass! Failure is a treacherous pit: Scramble! Clamber out of it! Failure is an inky night: Sing! Expect the morning light! Failure is an ugly coal: Fuse it to a diamond soul! |
