  2. Hope had grown grey hairs, Hope had mourning on, Trenched with tears, carved with cares, Hope was twelve hours gone.

  3. There lives the dearest freshness deep down things.

  4. I walk, I lift up, I lift up heart, eyes, Down all that glory in the heavens to glean our Saviour.

  5. Not, I'll not, carrion comfort, Despair, not feast on thee; Not untwist-slack they may be-these last strands of man In me or, most weary, cry I can no more. I can; Can something, hope, wish day come, not choose not to be.
