The Heart Courageous

Topics: classic

Who hath a heart courageous      Will fight with right good cheer;     For well may he his foes out-face      Who owns no foe called Fear!     Who hath a heart courageous      Will fight as knight of old     For that which he doth count his own -      Against the world to hold.     Who hath a heart courageous      Will fight both night and day,     Against the Host Invisible -      That holds his soul at bay,     Who hath a heart courageous      Rests with tranquillity,     For Time he counts not as his foe,      Nor Death his enemy.
