Hope, is it a speck of light
When sleeping one dim night?
'T is a bright light, isn't it right?
The living think, they might!
Compared to a bird, Emily said
But aren't they waiting to be fed?
An unequal crumb that's shredded
Of whose god when hope's dead?
An expert so concretized hope
That while there's life, 't is also there
So we strove to balance and cope
Until it almost cured hope's hunger!
