HOPE AND MISFORTUNE.
In Youths sweet childhood ev'ry tie
ofnature and offrienGship's spell,
Throws round the heart mystery
That chance and time can meier dispel.
mystic charm around the heart
BY Natures hand is softly spun,
And of that bosom forms a part,
While chidhood's chrystal stream shall run
The storms of time will only make
The limpid stream more brightly Aow,
til DER the bosom foods shall break,
And wrap the soul in tears of woe.
Then DER the boisterous wave shall glide
Loves tender barque with shivered sail,
Til in that boson's heaving tide
The barque is wrecked by PASSIONS gale.
Alb, what a sight is ths to see
The tender and the young in life
Thrown on misfortune's troubled sea-
Its pillows and its strife!
And in old age, when ev'ry hair
Is silrer'd DER with years comedy,
We hear that bosom's wild despair
We see that bosom's heaving sigh!
jest as as the mornings rising glow
Has FURNISHED up each dew-clad how'r
The fountof Hope begins to flow
Misfortune's cload begins to low'r
The sky, that Fanoy's eye had seen,
In starry splendor pure and bright,
Illunin'd b. the peerless queen,
Proud empress Of the night,
-~aA in dark array,
IN flghtlal mourning 80 !. b,rr
Thus fancy's visions pass away,
And darkness DER the scene is flung.
Around the heart the liyid glow
offeeling's last departing beam
Shoots forth in frightfu streaks Of woe
In terror's widest dream!
Time All time! why didst thou speak
The wordshat merged my peace in woe!
Why wilt thou cause this heart to breakf
Why dost thou strive to use me so.
oh!what wreck Of wild despair
Each moment yet is still revealing;
see Hopes pennon trembling far,
Like tinsel evening DER me stealing.
And as the light wind soft is blowing,
Its gentle stars unfurl to view,
Like freedoms gems full brightly glowing,
Or sun rise on the early dew.
In the deep ocean far from sight,
The star Of Hope has SuaS to rest,
And through the dark te.upestuous night
My barque rides on the billow's breast,
Without pennon, ruddar, sail,
orstar to guide it on its ways
without friendly boat to bail,
Tides triumphant DER the spray.
