IfNfc's burden seem too mnch to bear
And thy heart is sad with its load OF care,
EY'n then when storm clouds seem to lower,
Believe me there will come a Brighter hour.
Oh yes, whom darkest night around thee close
And .s.e. her mantle DER thy vision throws,
Ev'n then beyond n star Is beaming bright,
Waiting tao tcnptest's calm TO give thee lightw.
What tho the world Is proud and cold to vie
And denies affections it's homage due,
And disappointment round thee darkly loom,
There waits the bright hour to disperSe its gloom
Bear mp bravely and when the struggles DER
Life viii be sweetCr then twa Ger before,
No doubt OF care will bear its weight on thee,
Thou Dearest the charm to set each vagrant free.
Thus 'twould be greatto live and good to die,

Without a haven or an anchor sure.
