 SENTIMENT. 



I have no hand to cheer me ! Was there one, 

 Whom I must ever long for was that heart 

 Still mine in all my sorrows, as the sun 

 Wakens a slumbering world, she might impart 

 New being to me, and my soul would start 

 As giants from their sleep, to run the race 

 Of glory, and to hurl the unerring dart, 

 Where Victory rears her palm branch. 



Percival.
