HOPE by JOHN LANGHORNE

Poet Analysis

First Line: SUN OF THE SOUL! WHOSE CHEERFUL RAY
Last Line: TILL THY FAIR LAMP DISSOLVE IN ENDLESS DAY.
Subject(s): HOPE; OPTIMISM;

SUN of the Soul! whose cheerful ray
Darts o'er this gloom of life a smile;
Sweet Hope, yet further gild my way,
Yet light my weary steps awhile,
Till thy fair lamp dissolve in endless day.
