COURAGE, by                    
First Line: The young birch bends to ruthless fate
Last Line: Your fate courageously.
Subject(s): Birch Trees; Courage; Valor; Bravery


The young birch bends to ruthless fate
In winds that whip the lands;
The young birch gallantly sweeps back --
Again, erect it stands.

Oh, heart of mine be like the birch
In stress of life's decree;
If bend you must, whip back and meet
Your fate courageously.
