SEE through yon cloud that rolls in wrath, br One little star benignant peep, br To light along their trackless path br The wanderers of the stormy deep. br br And thus, oh Hope! thy lovely form br In sorrow's gloomy night shall be br The sun that looks through cloud and storm br Upon a dark and moonless sea. br br When heaven is all serene and fair, br Full many a brighter gem we meet; br 'Tis when the tempest hovers there, br Thy beam is most divinely sweet. br br The rainbow, when the sun declines, br Like faithless friend will disappear; br Thy light, dear star! more brightly shines br When all is wail and weeping here. br br And though Aurora's stealing beam br May wake a morning of delight, br 'Tis only thy consoling beam br Will smile amid affliction's night.
