COURAGE

Fat<i is the Moloch ot the Jjost— On sand her fane is built— An<l at her shrine a holocaust Of martyr blood is spilt: Though heart and brain be sure obtained To dare Coincidence. .M all's tear of Destiny Ordained O'enrnm&ters "saner" sense. 2. Yet some there be who Fate defy. And dw.m her buckram clad; Who face the night with courage higJi, And make each noontide grind: No horrent visions daunt the minds That grapple with their fears And hurl them to the haunting winds That shriek of vanished years 3. Ro those may weep whose ready tears Proclaim them wetalc of Isoul, And Sorrow furnish forth their biers Ere Death need take his toll: He best shall die. and. surest live. ■Whose courage dares the day Though "Fate" her ..Vessus-gifts may gIT» And Atropos betray.
