HERI, CRAS, HODIE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Shines the last age, the next with hope is seen
Last Line: O friendless present! Than thy bosom holds.


Shines the last age, the next with hope is seen,
To-day slinks poorly off unmarked between:
Future or Past no richer secret folds,
O friendless Present! than thy bosom holds.
