HOPE IN GOD, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Hope, child, to-morrow, and to-morrow still
Last Line: Then all the contrite, god may end with me.


HOPE, Child, to-morrow, and to-morrow still,
And every morrow hope; trust while you live.
Hope! and each time the dawn doth heaven fill,
Be there to ask, as God is there to give.

Poor Angel! Say, 'For sin is sorrow sent;
Perchance, if long I weep on bended knee,
When He has first blessed all the Innocent,
Then all the Contrite, God may end with me.
