Read, sweet, how others strove
Till we are stouter;
What they renounced
Till we are less afraid;
How many times they bore
The faithful witness
Till we are helped
As II a kingdom cared!
Read then of faith
That shone above the fagoti
Clear strains of hymn
The river could not drown1
Brave names of men
And Of celestial women
Passed out of record
Into renown.
Emily Dickinson.
