HOPE, by                    
First Line: The somber haze cannot for long conceal
Last Line: Then face about to wait the hasting day.
Subject(s): Hope; Optimism


The somber haze cannot for long conceal
The broad perspective of the luring height;
The clammy mists must shortly melt and steal
Beyond the visage of a star-flecked night.

Across the blue of miles soft mountains roll
Each over each in lofty, bold release.
Beyond them sweeps the Yukon of the soul;
Beyond them naps the Galilee of peace.

So when upon the sloping twilight sky
The feeble sunset crimson turns to gray,
I'll watch until its ashen embers die,
Then face about to wait the hasting day.
