Once More Again
“ ʂɦɸɯ ʉʂ ɧɛɾɛ
ɬɦɛ ɱɛʈʈɭɛ ɸʄ ɥɵʉɾ ₱ɑʂʈʋɽɛ „
~ William Shakespeare [Henry V, Act III Scene 1]
Once more again we join the fray
Because behind we cannot stay,
The aim of course, to be kept high
Lest we be falsely led awry,
Charge on, we must without delay.
For long-off hoped, we’ll pass away
To spirit realm - no more of clay
Each takes their turn and so must die
Once more again.
When passion wanes we shall essay,
Rise up to meet encroaching gray
Eternal spirit has to fly!
And match the heavens with the sky!
Until that day, into the fray
Once more again!
