HOPE.
There is a star that cheers our way Along this dreary world of woe, That tips with light the waves of life, However bitterly they flow.
'lis Hope ! 'lis Hope ! that blessed star "Which peers through Misery's darkest cloud; And only sets where Death has brought The pall, the tombstone, and the shroud.
But, ah ! to look upon the dead, And know they ne'er can wake again! To lose the one we love the best I—"lis this that sears the breast and brain.
Then, then the human heart will groan, And pine beneath the stroke of Fate ; 'Twill break, to find itself alone, A thing all sad and desolate. — Eliza Cooh
