II.
The damsel Fortune still denies,
The plea that yet delights her ear;
'Tis but our manhood that she tries;
She's coy to those who doubt and fear
She'll grant the suit another year!
Another year!
The plea that yet delights her ear;
'Tis but our manhood that she tries;
She's coy to those who doubt and fear
She'll grant the suit another year!
Another year!
Here's—“better luck another year!”
She now denies the golden prize,
But, spite of frown, and scorn, and sneer,
Be firm, and we shall win and wear,
With home made glad, and goodly cheer,
In “better luck another year!”
Another year! another year!
She now denies the golden prize,
But, spite of frown, and scorn, and sneer,
Be firm, and we shall win and wear,
With home made glad, and goodly cheer,
In “better luck another year!”
Another year! another year!
