Robert William Service Courage Poems
Today I opened wide my eyes,
And stared with wonder and surprise,
To see beneath November skies
An apple blossom peer;
...
In the shadow of the grave
I will be brave;
I'll smile,- I know I will
...
Ten little brown chicks scattered and scuffled,
Under the blue-berries hiding in fear;
Mother-grouse cackling, feathers all ruffled,
...
