Silent Rhythms

"IF I stumble/ do not tell me that I have failed.

IF I cry out/
Do not suppose me/broken.

And, if my limbs tell my story deeper than this English'd tower among me,

//

Then,
Let the words of my soul
Show an even yoke;

//

Let the
Children call this
Gallantry/
And
Power.

//

Let these
lungs
Call unto
Heaven."
