 | The Burden of the Bell and Other Lyrics |  |
95
THE ONE HOPE.
Hope of Wealth, sink low for ever
In a life-long sleep;
Hope of Love, by Time's dark river
No more watch and weep.
Hope of Fame, fade slowly, slowly,
From thy shatter'd throne.
Hope of Heaven, possess me wholly,
Until Heaven be won.
In a life-long sleep;
Hope of Love, by Time's dark river
No more watch and weep.
Hope of Fame, fade slowly, slowly,
From thy shatter'd throne.
Hope of Heaven, possess me wholly,
Until Heaven be won.
