The dawn, the dawn, is near !
46 SONNETS.
IV.
WISHES OF YOUTH.
Gaily and greenly let my seasons run ; And should the war- winds of the world uproot The sanctities of life, and its sweet fruit Cast forth as fuel for the fiery sun ; The dews be turned to ice — fair days begun In peace wear out in pain, and sounds that suit Despair and discord keep Hope's harpstring mute ; Still let me live as Love and Life were one : Still let nie turn on earth a childlike gaze And trust the whispered charities t...hat bring Tidings of human truth ; with inward praise Watch the weak motion of each common thing, And find it glorious — still let me raise On wintry wrecks an altar to the Spring.
SONNETS. 47 V.
ON TIME.
To one that marks the quick and certain round Of year on year, and finds how every day Brings its gray hair, or bears a leaf away From the full glory with which life is crowned, Ere youth becomes a shade and fame a sound ; Surely to one that feels his foot on sand Unsure, the bright and ever-visible hand Of Time points far above the lowly bound Of pride that perishes ; and leads the eye To loftier objects and diviner ends — A tranquil strength, sublime humility, A knowledge of ourselves, a faith in friends, A sympathy for all things born to die, With cheerful love for those whom truth attends.
