HOPE.
, When sullen cloudvS drive o'er the sun, And Nature's face is overcast ; And Nature's tear drops, falling fast, In Btreamleta down the hillside run ; A rift oft in the veil appears, Whence, downward stealing to the earth, Bright rays of light of Heavenly birth Show Nature smiling through her tears. And whore that glory meets the earth It floods the land with golden sheen ; An oasis of light between The darkness and the sun's new birth. Thus, through a darkling sorrow, steal Hope's ever-soothing rays sublime, That, casting light through coming time, Make present clouds less weighty feel.
