Let us peer forward through the dusk of years / And force the silent future to reveal / Her store of garnered joys; we may not kneel / For ever, and entreat our bliss with tears. / Somewhere on this drear earth the sunshine lies, / Somewhere the air breathes Heaven-blown harmonies.
Some day when you and I have fully learned / Our waiting-lesson, wondering, hand in hand / We shall gaze out upon an unknown land, / Our thoughts and our desires forever turned / From our old griefs, as swallows, home warding, / Sweep ever southward with unwearied wing.
