THE HEART COURAGEOUS

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.
