How many there arc who sing and dream
or happier seasons coming,
And ever Is fancy, to catch the beam
OF Golden Era, roaming
The world may grow old, and young again
And the hope Of better shall still remain.
Hope comes with life at its dawnng hour;
Hope sports with the infant creeper
Hope cheers up the youth, with her magic powers
And when, too, the grey haired weepeT
Has closed In the grave his weary round,
lie plants tho tree Of hope tho mound.

II speaks TO the soul of a state more meet,
Where its longngs shall all be stated
And the promise the indwelling voice thus makes
To the hoping soul--it never breaks. H. GLrEs.
