THE HEART COURAGEOUS

Virna Sheard

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.
