[THE GRAVE OF HOPE]

There's a wild little gnome in the wood

Who sings as he digs a grave

Of Hope that soars and Hope that flies

And Hope that singes her wings, and lies

In peace where the willows wave.

And he croons in the pauses of toil,

A shivering song of Fears,

The lean black shades of Hope so fair

Who weave her nets with her golden hair
