What is Hope? A smiling rainbow Children follow through the wet;'Tis not here, still yonder, yonder: Never urchin found it yet.

What is Life? A thawing iceboard On a sea with sunny shore; --Gay we sail; it melts beneath us; We are sunk, and seen no more.

What is Man? A foolish baby, Vainly strives, and fights, and frets;Demanding all, deserving nothing; -- One small grave is what he gets.
