I Am A Brave Heart (Villanelle)

                I Am A Brave Heart
       
            
                                    I am a brave heart and I have no fear
Truly I stand in the midst of danger without a flinch
I shiver as I grip my spear

People die all throughout the year
And if my moment is coming, why should I shrink away?
I am a brave heart and I have no fear

My friend was thrust though by a steer
He lost such blood he would not part his eyelids again
I shiver as I grip my spear

I will turn eighteen next year
Some say I am a firebrand and I’ll not disagree
I am a brave heart and I have no fear

Men wielding knives at the front, and bowers at the rear
Surely, now I am older, I am ready for my first fight?
I shiver as I grip my spear

The war hour is close and the enemy is near
I can’t brave this one I can’t flee from here
I shiver as I grip my spear
I am a brave heart and I have no fear
