THE BRAVEST KNIGHT
In ancient lore, our eyes will oft behold, Brave deeds, by gallant knights on land and sea; Deeds vowed to ladies fair, onjbended knee, By dashing knights, whose fame shall ne'er grow cold. Full praise to those who won their spurs of gold, But, list to me, I think, you will agree; ' Far greater than the knight of old is he Whose deeds, though brave, wills them remain untold, Who fights Truth's foe, 'neath fair and open sky, And courts not glory vain, nor senseless fame ; Defending Right, as God has let him know. Who wills and acts true deeds, his thoughts belie, While fighting fierce, with passion's ardent flame; This bravest knight who can to self say No. — The New World.
