Robert Laurence Binyon - Glorous Heart
Work rating: Low

Swift and straight as homing dove,
 Heedless, so its flight be flown,
 All the full stream of thy love,
 Love that knows no mortal bounding,
 Pours, is emptied for its own,
 Glorious Heart,
 Great and loyal and abounding!

 Over stormy waters eager
 Lifted like a breasting prow,
 Though the winds and waves beleaguer,
 To one star thy true course guiding
 Onward, ever onward, thou
 Glorious Heart,
 Steerest, hoping, well confiding.

 When thy strength within thee faints,
 When to grief the way is hard,
 All thy heroes and thy saints,
 Lo, with strong hands arming for thee,
 Hold thy tenderness in guard,
 Glorious Heart,
 They that bore thy pains before thee.

 Like a flag that, battle--girt,
 Keeps its ardent colours high,
 Knows not either hate or hurt,
 Nay, nor fear nor thought of turning,
 Flag for which men leap to die,
 Glorious Heart,
 I adore thy beauty burning.
