SUBMISSION

By Dean Fulton

Swerve not to right nor left For fear nor frown; Neither to right nor left, For hope nor crown; Not thine to change the road, Not thine to ease the load, Chosen of God.

Freighted with good and ill Cometh life's day; O’er mead and mountain wild Lieth thy way; Wounds and brave joy of fight, Both hath the fray.

Stay not for good nor ill; March in the light; Swerve not from stone nor steep Leftward nor right; Reck not of wound nor joy, Strike with thy might.

Which were the happier Thou canst not know; Thick in the tree of thorns Sweetest flowers blow; Out of the field of death, Rich harvests grow.

Whither God sendeth thee Press thou still on; Turn not to right nor left, Let the world frown, Near, though thou see it not, Waiteth thy crown.

—Dean Fulton.
