Robert Laurence Binyon - Sursum Cor!
Work rating: Low

Lament no more, my heart, lament no more,
 Though all these clouds have covered up the light,
 And thou, so far from shore,
 Art baffled in mid flight;
 Still proudly as in joy through sorrow soar!
 As the wild swan,
 Voyaging over dark and rising seas,
 Into the stormy air adventures on
 With wide unfaltering wings, the way he bore
 When blue the water laughed beneath the breeze
 And morning round the radiant beaches shone,
 So thou through all this pain
 Endure, my heart, whither thy course was bound;
 Though never may the longed--for goal be found,
 Thy steadfast will maintain.
 Thou must not fail, for nothing yet hath failed
 Which was to thee most dear and most adored;
 Still glorious is Love, thy only lord,
 Truth still is true, and sweetness still is sweet:
 The high stars have not changed, nor the sun paled.
 Still warmly, O my heart, and bravely beat,
 Remember not how lovely was delight,
 How piteous is pain,
 Keep, keep thy passionate flight,
 Nor find thy voyage vain,
 Yea, till thou break, my heart, all meaner quest disdain.
