Homes and Fears.

Our hopes are like the wreaths of foam
That glitter on each shining wave.
When with gushing sounds they come
The white and thirsty beach to lave.
The waters part. the ripples CLEAN
A moment on the silent shore,
And vanish, as the hopes that seem
A moment bright and then no more.
Seeking for love, for fame. for power,
To the frail threads of life we cling,
For hope will Gull soithered flower,
And tune harp with broken strings;
And Hope will shed glimmerins ray
OF light on Pleasures ruined shrine,
For mouldering columns still look gay
When sunbeams Ger them shine.
Though severed be loves magic chain,
Still to its broken charms we trust,
And hope to mend the links again,
When grief has eaten them with rust.
Frail as the bubbles on the beach
That hope may be-a transient beam,
But reft of Joy, it's sweet to teach
The heart to hush its grief and dream.
Our hopes are like the flowers that bloom
Upon the mountains verdant side,
That mountains heart burning tomb,
Cleft by the lava's scorching tide.
They spring and flourish, fade ard die,
Like human hopes-as frail and fair
NVk:l. 6ras hnpoatb than lie
Like human passions hidden there.
Our fears are like the clouds that shed
Their gloom across summer sky;
When life is fairest, some wild dread
OF grief is ever lowering nigh.
The gloom may pass, the shadows fade,
And the sunlight only seem to reign;
But still there is a lingering shade
A fear that clouds will come again.
Where the bright wells of sladness spring.
Hope will the youthful heart decoy,
But fear is lowering there, TO fling
A shadow Ger the path of joy.
A canker-worm within the fruit,
A serpent in the linnet's nest,
A sentry ever grim and mute
Is fear within the human breast.
A rainbow never spans the sky,
But some dark spirit of The storm,
With sable plume, is lowering nigh,
To watch its soft and fairy form.
Hope never chants her angel song,
Or bids us rest beneath her wing,
But Fear, with all his phantom throng
Is in the distance lowering.
We seek the laurel wreath of Fame,
And all her tickle favers trust,
To live, perchance without name,
And find the chaplet turned to dust.
Life wears away, mid smiles and tears
The wedding peal, the funeral toll
But though o'ershadowed still by fears,
Hope is the sunlight of the soul.
