That found the common daylight sweet,
And left to Heaven the rest.

The dust will hide the crown;
Ay, none shall nail so high his name
Time will not tear it down.

If roses load the air;
Beyond my heart I need not reach
When all is summer there.

Shall lord it but a day;
Better the lowly deed were done,
And kept the humble way.

Hope doth set her bow;
But in the sky of sorrow,
Over the vale of woe. Through gloom and shadow look we
On beyond the years!
The soul would have no rainbow
Had the eyes no tears.
