Never Say Die (A Rondeau in Pentametre) <br /> <br />Never say die though hardships hound your head: <br />They come not singly, has it not been said? <br />These troubles are like social beasts and birds: <br />They always come and go in flocks and herds, <br />By no apparent leader being led. <br /> <br />So cower not but challenge them instead: <br />They all will flee if only some have fled. <br />To foil fear, Bravery's belt who gird <br />Never say die. <br /> <br />Yes, triumphed they, profusely who hd bled <br />And yet, with courage, conquered demon Dread. <br />Of such heroic persons haven't you heard, <br />For whom Victory was the main watchword? <br />So though you bleed, as long as you're not dead, <br />Never say die.<br /><br />Dr. Tulsi Hanumanthu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/never-say-die-5/
