TO HOPE.

•
t From " The Lttinian" ofJuV, IB2i, NO. IX.]

,
Kind Spirit ! balm of care and wrong,
Sweet play-fellow of Reason,.
Accept a light May-morning song;
A song of thy owo-Season.
Thou'rt fairer than thy comrade Joy,
Though She's the youngerxiater ;
1-lad'st thou been:our s without alloy,
• We never Should have miss'd her.
Sweet- Hope ! thou_lov'st us well, and yet
Thou wilt not serve us blindly ;
Thou halt no petted favourite,
_ Who loves, must use thee kindly.
Too delicate for the roulh play
Of boisterous expectatidus ; • .
From -their rud e grasp th ou shrink's t away,
And leavest -us to impaiience.
. We chide thee, Hope, aid wish
. By Pleasure supersedtxl; • ;
Yet thou art kind, hoWeiver scoff'd,
. - • And com'st again whorl needed.
Thou fall'st upon us like-a gleam •
Of stizishine•unexpeeted ; • • _
Thy sports, like childr€ n's,
Vet are they heaven-ifirceted.
We call thee false--'tis but thy ape,
The tiling that so deceives-us ;
Conies without cause, "an airy share.,
And without reason letites us.*
" • For thou art•of immortal, birth ; • -
• No thing of ItEnE• or. Trott- ;
• • Thy place of dwelling is on 'earth,-
But not of earth art thou ! •
