Defying the Dark One no matter the length of his shadow. We will live, that defiance said. We will love and we will hope.

About This Quote

We will live, that defiance said. We will love and we will hope. The first line of the poem, written by poet Christina Rosetti, was first published in 1846. It was set to music by Geoffrey Parsons in the early 1980s.

The song is so beautiful it speaks for itself. The words are written down but the message is conveyed through the music. The main idea of this poem is that humans have defeated so much evil throughout history. It’s never over until it’s over.
