LOSE NOT YOUR HEART!

Do not lose heart!
One day the heart-rose shall bloom
In the midst of impediments galore!
So, lose not your heart!

Sport with the fury of storms,
If they rage and roar around you.
Stand up to the heavy rocks
They fling at you!

You know well enough
The weather is rainy;
There's rough and tumble in the sky,
The dark clouds hover and thunder above
Let all that be a song sonorous to you!

True,
Flashes the lightning, again and again
But to you a crackling of firework it is!
If you tread your track unmoved
Your destination itself will arrive one day
And meet you half way!
Do not lose heart!
One day the heart-rose shall bloom
In the midst of impediments galore
So, lose not your heart!
