SORROW AND JOY.
Oh! Sorrow! on thy face
I long have looked—long gazed!
I own its tearful grace,
When th' envious veil is raised.
I long have looked—long gazed!
I own its tearful grace,
When th' envious veil is raised.
I can resemblance trace—
Sorrow! thou sweet Saint-Queen!—
In that pathetic face,
To young Joy's radiant mien.
Sorrow! thou sweet Saint-Queen!—
In that pathetic face,
To young Joy's radiant mien.

Sister and Sister, ye—
Oh! ye're allied too near!
Large is that family,
Which doth embrace ye here!
Oh! ye're allied too near!
Large is that family,
Which doth embrace ye here!
Hope, Fear, Doubt, Triumph, Love—
Brethren and sisters are
With thee—Oh! mournful dove!
And Joy that lighteneth far.
Brethren and sisters are
With thee—Oh! mournful dove!
And Joy that lighteneth far.
Doubt, Hope, Love, Triumph, Fear,
Brethren and sisters are
With thee—faint Hesperus dear,
And that divine twin-star!
Brethren and sisters are
With thee—faint Hesperus dear,
And that divine twin-star!
Each hath some likeness too,
Unto the others all—
They're one fond band and true,
Bound by some mystic thrall!
Unto the others all—
They're one fond band and true,
Bound by some mystic thrall!

Each hath some likeness too,
Unto each other one!
They're bound by ties too true,
For aye, beneath the Sun!
Unto each other one!
They're bound by ties too true,
For aye, beneath the Sun!
