  THE CHALICE OF COURAGE

  (Courtesy of _The Outlook_)

  Drink of the Chalice of Courage! Pressed to the trembling lip, The dark-veiled fears From the passing years, Like a dusty garment slip.

  Drink of the Chalice of Courage! Poured for the Hero's feast, When the strength divine Of its subtle wine Is shared with the last and least.

  Drink of the Chalice of Courage! The mead of mothers and men, And the sinewed might Of the Victor's might, Be yours, again and again.
