Call it not wasted—the breath we lend 
To the breeze when no step is nigh ; 
Oh ! thus for ever the earth should send 
Her grateful breath on high. 
And love us as emblems, night’s dewy flowers, 
Of hopes unto sorrow giv’n, 
That spring through the gloom of the darkest hours, 
booking alone to Heav’n! ” E.)
