Rhyme Scheme: ABACDD EFEFGG HIHIJJ BGBGKD LMLNOO PQPQPPWhen weary with the long day's care | A |
And earthly change from pain to pain | B |
And lost and ready to despair | A |
Thy kind voice calls me back again | C |
Oh my true friend I am not lone | D |
While then canst speak with such a tone | D |
- | |
So hopeless is the world without | E |
The world within I doubly prize | F |
Thy world where guile and hate and doubt | E |
And cold suspicion never rise | F |
Where thou and I and Liberty | G |
Have undisputed sovereignty | G |
- | |
What matters it that all around | H |
Danger and guilt and darkness lie | I |
If but within our bosom's bound | H |
We hold a bright untroubled sky | I |
Warm with ten thousand mingled rays | J |
Of suns that know no winter days | J |
- | |
Reason indeed may oft complain | B |
For Nature's sad reality | G |
And tell the suffering heart how vain | B |
Its cherished dreams must always be | G |
And Truth may rudely trample down | K |
The flowers of Fancy newly blown | D |
- | |
But thou art ever there to bring | L |
The hovering vision back and breathe | M |
New glories o'er the blighted spring | L |
And call a lovelier Life from Death | N |
And whisper with a voice divine | O |
Of real worlds as bright as thine | O |
- | |
I trust not to thy phantom bliss | P |
Yet still in evening's quiet hour | Q |
With never failing thankfulness | P |
I welcome thee Benignant Power | Q |
Sure solacer of human cares | P |
And sweeter hope when hope despairs | P |
