Courage
March 29, 2012
HERE BURNS MY CANDLE
AND IT SHALL NOT WANE
THOUGH DARKNESS SURROUND
AND THOUGH BODY BE SLAIN
HERE BURNS MY CANDLE
THOUGH FLAME MAY BE SMALL
AND I’LL NOT BETRAY IT
WHAT E’ER MAY BEFALL
HERE BURNS MY CANDLE
WITH HOPE IN ITS LIGHT
REMINDING ME ALWAYS
TO STAND AND TO FIGHT
HERE BURNS MY CANDLE
I’LL NEVER RETREAT
NO MATTER MY FATE
OR WHAT TROUBLES I MEET
HERE BURNS MY CANDLE
THOUGH I AM NOT STRONG
I’LL CONQUER MY FOE
AND TAUNT DEATH WITH A SONG
