There’s Hope for Thee Yet
WHAT though from life’s bounties thou mayest have fallen?
What though thy sun in dark clouds may have set?
There is a bright star that illumes the horizon,
Telling thee truly, “There’s hope for thee yet.”
This earth may look dull, old friends may forsake thee;
Sorrows that never before thou hast met
May roll o’er thy head; yet that bright star before thee
Shines to remind thee “there’s hope for thee yet.”
’T is but folly to mourn, though fortune disdain thee,
Though never so darkly thy sun may have set;
’T is wisdom to gaze at the bright star before thee,
And shout, as you gaze, “There’s hope for me yet.”
