Read—Sweet—how others—strove lyrics
by Emily Dickinson

Read—Sweet—how others—strove
Till we—are stouter
What they—renounced
Till we—are less afraid
How many times they—bore the faithful witness
Till we—are helped
As if a Kingdom—cared!
Read then—of faith
That shone above the fagot
Clear strains of Hymn
The River could not drown
Brave names of Men
And Celestial Women
Passed out—of Record
Into—Renown!
