HYMN XXXII. Against DESPAIR.
OLD RALPH in the WOOD.
I
A raven once an Acorn tookFrom Bashan's tallest stoutest tree;
He hid it by a limpid brook,
And liv'd another oak to see.
II
Thus Melancholy buries Hope,Which Providence keeps still alive,
And bids us with afflictions cope,
And all anxiety survive.
