HOPE by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: HOPE THAT IS BLINDFOLD IS NOT BLIND
Last Line: THE VEILING OF THE SUN.
Subject(s): HOPE; TIME; OPTIMISM;
HOPE that is blindfold is not blind,
Else might her eyes go free;
She bends her brow for Time to bind—
For Time that cannot see.

And till the voice of heaven translate
The dreams she dwells upon,
The veiled stars of her vision wait
The veiling of the sun.
