First Line: My heart is pregnant with a great despair
Last Line: In frowning fortune smiling destiny!
Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John


My heart is pregnant with a great despair
With much beholding of my people's care,
'Mid blinded prejudice and nurtured wrong,
Exhaling wantonly the days along:
I mark Faith's fragile craft of cheering light
Tossing imperiled on the sea of night,
And then, enanguished, comes my heart's low cry,
"God, God! I crave to learn the reason why!"
Again, in spirit loftily I soar
With wingèd vision through earth's outer door,
In such an hour, it is mine to see,
In frowning fortune smiling destiny!
