First lines
Let thy strong spirit never fear, Nor in thy virgin soul be thou afraid. The gods themselves and the almightier fates Cannot avail to harm
With outward and misfortunate chance The radiant unshaken mind of him Who at his being's centre will abide, Secure from doubt and fear.
His wise and patient heart shall share The strong sweet loveliness of all things made, And the serenity of inward joy Beyond the storm of tears.
