Conclusion.
BUT, oh! how hard, how arduous is the task,Unhelp'd to linger, and unheard to ask!
'Midst thousand fears and thousand toils unknown,
To wait the harvest from a seed just sown!
What patient looking, and what dubious hope,
That now desponds, and now in fear looks up?
But this is sure—who spake his word will keep;
“Who sow'd in sorrow, shall in triumph reap.”
