Love

Arm thee ! Arm thee ! Forth upon the road

by Mary E. Coleridge 1861–1907

From Poems (1908)

Love

Arm thee! Arm thee! Forth upon the road!
Michael is calling the hosts of God.

Arm thee! Arm thee! Out into the night!
Forth again, forth again, child of the light!

Arm thee! Arm thee! Take the sword
Bright with the might of the glory of the Lord.

Arm thee! Arm thee! The morning Kings
Have heard the murmur of Michael's wings.
