O what availeth thee thy melting mood,Thine ecstasyWhen once again thy thralldoms o’er thee brood:& what doth profit thee thy courage high,& strength so fain;So soon agen thy coward heart shall fly?For more & stronger strife our strength shall strain,Though hope’s best goodBe but this hope: to strive, & strive again.

O what availeth thee thy melting mood,Thine ecstasyWhen once again thy thralldoms o’er thee brood:& what doth profit thee thy courage high,& strength so fain;So soon agen thy coward heart shall fly?For more & stronger strife our strength shall strain,Though hope’s best goodBe but this hope: to strive, & strive again.

O what availeth thee thy melting mood,Thine ecstasyWhen once again thy thralldoms o’er thee brood:

O what availeth thee thy melting mood,

Thine ecstasy

When once again thy thralldoms o’er thee brood:

& what doth profit thee thy courage high,& strength so fain;So soon agen thy coward heart shall fly?

& what doth profit thee thy courage high,

& strength so fain;

So soon agen thy coward heart shall fly?

For more & stronger strife our strength shall strain,Though hope’s best goodBe but this hope: to strive, & strive again.

For more & stronger strife our strength shall strain,

Though hope’s best good

Be but this hope: to strive, & strive again.
