'I see the end and know the good.'

A little hint to solace woe,

A hint, a whisper breathing low,

'I may not speak of what I know.'

Like an Æolian harp that wakes

No certain air, but overtakes

Far thought with music that it makes.

Such seemed the whisper at my side:

'What is it thou knowest, sweet voice?' I cried.

'A hidden hope,' the voice replied.
