FOR THE DEMOCRAT.
TIE DELUSI0NS OF HOPE.
Il Y D.

Oh, glorious hope, thou radiant light.
Life's morning star and guide,
Could'st reign forever 'twere never
night,
No sea would have tide;
But thou delusive, Pickering star!
Thy rays but serve to cheat
So, too, thy gilded pinions are
Plumed by Hopes deceit!
Oh, yes thou art the power that filings
Its letters DER the soul,
And vibrates DER the silvered strings
Bespeaking the future goal;
AS the star most bright in Heaven seen
Doth often disappear,
TO shed again its golden sheen
Upon another sphere
So thou, too, Hope, most brilliant star
Art tickle in thy ways,
And the golden wheel Of Time" doth
The splcndor of thy ways.
AS on its transit through the skies
The comet runs its race,
And with electric swiftness flies
Beyond our ken in space
So, also, Hopes attractive light
May vanish from the mind,
And the shadow of the SOULS midnight,
Is all that's. left behind.
Yet joys like these, tho transient all
Are welcome still, and seem
Sweet as celestial dews that fall
Upon the troubled dream.
Then be they mine, and once again
May al! my senses fill,
With Hopes sweet vision, there tc
reign
A star most welcome still.
