A CHALLENGE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Arise, o soul, and gird thee up anew
Last Line: Be the proud captain still of thine own fate!


ARISE, O soul, and gird thee up anew,
Though the black camel Death kneel at thy gate;
No beggar thou that thou for alms shouldst sue;
Be the proud captain still of thine own fate!
