A Greater Muse

I shan’t e’er embroil my mind with pity
Or conflict my soul with doubt,
When I’ve applied myself whole-heartedly
In result to end in rout;
Thus unto my thoughts I dwell deeper still,
Perchance to change the tide,
O’ though I may falter, I’ve yet to fail,
For in my heart I’ve tried!
 
I shan’t e’er darken my spirit with failure
Or lose the grip of hope.
I shan’t e’er abandon a foundering ship
That I know shall stay afloat!
Deep into my heart a flame doth burn,
As I take my blows in stride,
O’ and though I may falter, I’ve yet to fail,
When all efforts were applied!
 
I shall not succumb to dark despair,
For I’ve been ne’er dim or frail,
And so I do not hearken to the critic’s tongue
That may cometh to prevail.
A greater muse doth shout upon my ear
O’er the voices that deride,
O’ though I may falter, I’ve yet to fail,
For at the least I’ve tried!
