A New-Born Courage.
Once seeing the inevitable way My feet must tread through difficult places lay I cannot go alone, I cried dismayed ; I faint, I fall, I perish without aid. Yet, when I looked to see if help was nigh, A creature weaker, wretoheder than I, One on whose head life's fiercest storms had beat, Clung to my garments falling at my feet. I saw ; I paused no more, my courage found, I stopped and raised her gently from the ground ; Through every peril safe I passed at length, For she who leaned upon me gave me strength. — Phabe Cary.
