Awake thy heart,
Dread engine that thou art,
And seize this day.
Awake too thy soul,
Ready for its central role
Upon this world's stage to play.
Claim all thy bones, sinew and flesh,
And this brave heart and soul enmesh,
Greater than the sum of its clay.
Let's hear thy voice, and speak!
Tell thy piece, be not so meek;
Learn thy lines to proudly say.
Show then thy face,
Of soft expression and hard grimace,
And united enter life's fray.
So now thou art complete at last,
Though life is short, and passes fast,
Remember thyself; shrink not away.
