Question

【题目】

If you are tired and do not win,

Never stop, for crying;

All that’s great and good is done

Just by patient trying.

Though young birds, in flying, fall,

Still their wings grow stronger;

And the next time they can keep

Up a little longer.

Though the strong oak（橡树）knows

Many a blast that lowed her,

She rises again, and grows

Loftier and prouder.

If by easy work you beat,

Who the more will prize you?

Getting victory from failure ——

That’s the test that tries you!
