Kind spirit! balm of care and wrong,
Sweet play-fellow of Reason,
Accept light May morning song,
song OF thy own season.
Thou'E fairer than thy comrade Joy,
Though she's the younger sister;
Had'st thou been ours without alloy,
We never should have miss'd her.
Sweet Hope thou lowest us we'll, and yet
Thou will not serve US hlindly
Thou hast no petted favorite-
Who loves, must use thee kindly.
Too delicate for the rough play
Ofboisterous expectations,
From their wide grasp thou slip'st away,
And leaV'st US to Impotence.
We chidc thee, Hope, and wish thee oft
By pleasure superseded;
Yet thou art kind however scoffed,
And com'st again when needed.
Thou fall'st upon us like CLEAN
OF sunshine unexpected
Thy sports, like children's, aimless seem,
etare they Heaven-dlrected.
We call the false 'tis but thy ape,
The thing that so deceives us,
Comes without cause, an airy shape,
And without reason leaves US.
For thou art of immortal birth
No thing of mere or now:
Thy place Of dwelling is on earth,
But not Of earth art thou.
