The Heart Courageous Poem by 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.
