The Vigil-at-Arms
KEEP holy watch with silence, prayer, and fastingTill morning break, and all the bugles play;Unto the One aware from everlastingDear are the winners: thou art more than they.Forth from this peace on manhood’s way thou goest,Flushed with resolve, and radiant in mail;Blessing supreme for men unborn thou sowest,O knight elect! O soul ordained to fail!

Unto the One aware from everlasting
Dear are the winners: thou art more than they.
