Courage
Lord, if I had the choice to don One virtue as a cloak of gold, ’Twould be the cloak of courage 1 would zuear Courage to speak when speech can help, The strength to leave unsaid the words That passing anger tempts the lips to speak; Valour to fight when only death Can be the end, and fight so zvell That men shall see tn death but victory; Daring to raise my thoughts above The mundane cares that strangle life, Courage to bring none pain, courage to dt cam, So when the end comes, I may pass Into the. vale that lies beyond, And wear the cloak of courage as I go. —C. J.' M. Turner,
