But ah ! how deceptive is flattering Hope, And the sun's bright ray ; 'Tis the gilding of darkness, the warning of night, That melts away : And the moon-lit hour, with its magic power. Is delusive too : For the Lover I ween, and his fairy queen, Oft that hour will rue. \nd t hi- Warrior in fight, with armour bright. When he death doth brave, Seeketh nought but renown, and a laurel crown. But findeth ;i grave. And tin 1 tranquil deep, when 'ti^ woke from its sleep, And the water's boom. 92 HOPE.... Wrecks the trembling bark, and the foam doth mark The Mariner s tomb. And the beauteous Bride, in her youthful pride, Dreameth not of grief, But the bridal-day, like the flower of May, Hath its life but brief. And the babe is prest to its Mother s breast, Little doth she know, It grief may impart to her doating heart — Fill her cup of woe. And the grey-haired Man, when his life's short span Dwindleth away, Thinketh Time too fast, and he yet may last, Aye, for many a day. Hope ne'er deceiveth the soul that believeth, Religion's power ; The repentant tear will the faithful cheer, In their dying hour.
