Sentiment .... Solace in Adversity 
When sorrow’s clouds above us roll, 
And all around is dark and drear, 
How sweet the sympathy of soul, 
Which greets us then from friends sincere. 
When wandering lone some stormy night, 
We look for some bright, friendly star, 
Not e’en a raylet meets our sight, 
To guide us to our home afar. 
At length we see one pitying cloud 
Eend her etherial veil apart. 
And there, behind the misty shroud, 
A star peeps forth to glad the heart. 
Ah ! then we find our homeward path, 
And with light step pursue our way; 
The star of hope and holy faith, 
Will never lead our feet astray. 
Thus Chloe comes like that bright star, 
When wandering lone in sorrow’s night ; 
Her smile of love disperses far, 
The clouds which gathered o’er our sight.
