Let thy strong spirit never fear,
1
Nor in thy virgin soul be thou afraid.
The gods themselves and the almightier fates
With outward and misfortunate chance
5
The radiant unshaken mind of him
Who at his being's centre will abide,
Secure from doubt and fear.
His wise and patient heart shall share
9
The strong sweet loveliness of all things made
And the serenity of inward joy
Beyond the storm of tears.
