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.
