All may be well to-morrow.”

“Alas!” cries Grief, “no leisure hour

The Gods assign my fate;

On love or friendship, fame or power,

I’m ever doom’d to wait.”

“Never,” cries Hope, with winning smile,

“Nourish my foe Despair;

Yon hamlet see, let’s join awhile

The boys at see-saw there.”

Now purple lights and balmy gales
