Eternal Hope! when FOUNDER soheres sublime,
Realed their first notes to sound the march of time
Thy joyous youth began:-but not TO fade.-
When all the sister planets have decayed;
When aorapt in flames the realms of either glow,
And Heavens last thunder shakes the earth below
Thou undismayed, shalt DER the ruins smile,
And light thy torch at Natures funeral pile.
