o. hopeless Hope, how lonely now
The heart that was thy home;
How all bereft of smiles the brow
Once radiant with thine own!
Yes, like the bright winged butterfly,
chased in earlier years, .,
Thou'st soar'd on 'tsilvery p%inions" high
And left me bath'd in tears.
O say, brightHope, why did'st thou bloom
Amid frail passion flowers,
To make more deep, more dark inc gloom
Oflove's last lingering hour
Or vert thou sent, sweet genius, here
To soothc the stricken heart,
And point it to yon heavenly sphere'
Where spirits never part'
Then tell me-, Hope. thou source of all
The bliss on earth, divine
Though thou can'st aus no ray to fall
On loves sweet, sacred shrine,
To lure nc to that hallow'd spot,
Where Hymen sits enthroned
To link mans love, his life, his lot,
With love by woman owned
That thou a lamp Of light will be,
Along the narrow way,
To lead my soul, from gloom set free
To realms Of endless day;
Where, ere long. I with her will meet
Whom, here. | lov'd alone,
To live in concord pure and sweet
In that celestial home.
