Come, Come. Take Cheer Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Come, come. take cheer
Though all around us all
Is falling part by part
Bastions that are dilapidating:
Ah! bastions long ago
But that was long,
Long ago:
And now
Of air around us, and the sun,
The dusk, the dawn, the night
Of these
Only we can take cheer:
So let us adopt these, our
New children:
And let us be one family with them
Come, come. take cheer
Though all around us all
Is falling part by part
