第92章 PERSEVERANCE

1.Dear Polly,these are joyful days;

Your feet can choose their own sweet ways;You have no care for anything.

Free as a swallow on the wing ,You hunt the hay-field over To find a four-leaved clover .

2.But this I tell you,Polly dear,One thing in life you need not fear;Bad luck,believe me,never hauntsA child who works for what she wants,And hunts a hay-field overTo find a four-leaved clover!

3.The little leaf is not so wise As it may seem in foolish eyes;But then,dear Polly,don‘t you see,Since you were willing carefullyTo hunt the hay-field over,You found your four-leaved clover.

4.Your patience may have long to wait,Whether in little things or great,But all good luck,as you will learn,Belongs to those who work and earn.Who hunts the hay-field over Will find the four-leaved clover.
