Hope is a gem, whoso snrfii; bright
fVives forth a cliccring sIcn ; Attracts each wand'ring ra.of lighl. Then sends it sparkling to lc sight.
To gild thc passing seeni
Hope is a dream, whose viy.n'triie.
Precludes a rising fenr; Catches ncw joys'in distanticw, 'WhiBpers"ril bring Oicm Ime for you,
To bless somo coming yn."
Ilnpe is n faith, whose hcamly power
Bids all our sorrows ceai; .Scniler.s thc storms when lopcsLs lower. Dispels the gloom of death'tlark hour.
And says "in hcai-cn Ihc's peace."
Thea what is hop^?    Nay, "hat in life.
Without itn cheering ra; 'Tis hut a shade of hiltor sire ; 'Tin hnt a d,-cnm with sorrca rife ;
A misty, cloud.tike day.
But what is file when joint with fiopc.
This hoon to mortals giv.? 'Tis a vast spnce for reasor^scope ; 'Tis n wide finlil, whose prpeols opo
A brightening viow of hifon.
