NO MORE SHALL HOPE'S ILLUSIVE DREAM.
No more shall hope's illusive dream,
Nor wild ambition's idle scheme,
With visions false distract my brain,
Of promised good I ne'er obtain.
Nor wild ambition's idle scheme,
With visions false distract my brain,
Of promised good I ne'er obtain.
But here in life's sequestered path,
I'll smile at fate, nor dread its wrath,
And calmly look without a moan,
On bliss that might have been my own.
I'll smile at fate, nor dread its wrath,
And calmly look without a moan,
On bliss that might have been my own.
