Show HOPE<br><br> Hope's the blossom that is blooming In the desert of our life, All the toilsome paths perfuming In the weary, bitter strife. <br><br> ‘Tis the song that cheers us ever When the heart is bruised and sore, Singing always - doubting never! Something joyous e'er (?) before. <br><br> Like an anchor doth it stay us When the seas of sorrow roll, To o'erwhelm us, and betray us On the breakers of the soul. <br><br> As a bark it bears us over Life's dark ocean's troubled breast Stands us safely in the cover Of the harbors of the blest! <br><br> -Waverly |
