Robert Laurence Binyon - "Now that I have won"
Work rating: Low

Now that I have won
 Long despaired of peace,
 And those fears are flown
 That vext so my heart`s ease;

 Shall I wish my love
 Had found a path more smooth,
 With no thorns to prove
 Its constancy and truth?

 Wish those nights not spent,
 Long, unhappy nights,
 Which in sighings went
 Over lost delights?

 Wish those tears unwept,
 When you seemed unkind?
 Nay; for these pangs kept
 Love steadfast in my mind.

 Out of these he came
 Stronger, tenderer; tried
 As with burning flame;
 Proved and purified.

 Not in vain I shook
 With those tears and sighs,
 If now Love may look
 Out of Faith`s clear eyes.

 Now may my tired head
 On your breast repose,
 By your heart comforted,
 Which it trusts and knows.
