  • Where's the hope that can abate
    The grief of hearts thus desolate
    That can Youth's keenest pangs assuage,
    And mitigate the gloom of Age?
    Religion bids the tempest cease,
    And, leads her to a port of peace;
    And on, the lonely pilot steers
    Through the lapse of future years.
