HOPE AND LOVE. 
Whate’er the grief that dims my eye, 
Whate’er the cause of sorrow, 
We turn us weeping to the sky, 
And say, “ we’ll smile to-morrow.” 
And when from those we love we part, 
From hope, we comfort borrow, 
And whisper to our aching heart, 
“We’ll meet again to-morrow.” 
But when to-morrow comes, ’tis still 
An image of to-day, 
Still tears our heavy eyelids fill, 
Still mourn we those away. 
And when that morrow too is past, 
(A yesterday of sorrow;) 
Hope, smiling, cheats us to the last, 
With visions of to-morrow.
