Without these plans my life must worthless seem.

Since these two men have torn away from me

My field of action, all that I can see

Ahead is life reft of the breath of life.

In order that my spirit may not show

Discouragement I need that bravery

Of which thou spak’st just now. But whether I

Shall find my strength sufficient for the task

Is more than I can say, for I can feel

How that same force which I must needs set free
