HOPE.

NEVER despair! The darkest cloud That ever loomed will pass away; The longest night will yield to dawn, The dawn will kindle into day.
What if around thy lonely bark Break fierce and high the waves of sorrow; Bend every oar—there's land ahead, And thou wilt gain the port to-morrow.
When fortune frowns, and summer friends, Like birds that fear a storm, depart, Some, if the breast have tropic warmth, Will stay and nestle round thy heart.
If thou art poor, no joy is won, No good is gained by sad repining. Gems buried in the darkened earth May yet be gathered for the mining.
