Solace and strength

In which firm promise given could there be
Assurance of reliability?

In which warm haven could I find repose
In sheltered refuge from the gale that blows?

In which impregnable, unbowed  redout
Would I be safe against the foe without?

In which untaken fortress on the hill
Could I deny the enemy his will?

In what strong bastion, fashioned to repulse
Would I survive while ill all else engulfs?

In these, or others, would what's dire yield space?
In none - were I not in your dear embrace!
