lirik lagu robert newton - for hope
dear hope! earth’s dowry, and heavn’s debt!
the entity of those that are not yet
subtlest, but surest beeing! thou by whom
our nothing has a definition!
substantiall shade! whose sweet allay
blends both the noones of night and day
fates cannot find out a capacity
of hurting thee
from thee their lean dilemma, with blunt h~rn
shrinkes, as the sick moon from the wholesome morn
rich hope! love’s legacy, under lock
of faith! still spending, and still growing stock!
our crown~land lyes above yet each meal brings
a seemly portion for the sonnes of kings
nor will the virgin joyes we wed
come lesse unbroken to our bed
because that from the bridall cheek of blisse
thou steal’st us down a distant kisse
hope’s chast stealth harmes no more joye’s maidenhead
than spousall rites prejudge the marriage bed
fair hope! our earlyer heav’n by thee
young time is taster to eternity
thy generous wine with age growes strong, not sowre
thy golden, growing, head never hangs down
till in the lappe of loves full noone
it falls; and dyes! o no, it melts away
as does the dawn into the day
as lumpes of sugar loose themselves; and twine
their supple essence with the soul of wine
fortune? alas, above the world’s low warres
hope walks; and kickes the curl’d heads of conspiring starres
her keel cuts not the waves where these winds stir
fortune’s whole lottery is one blank to her
her shafts, and she fly farre above
and forage in the fields of light and love
sweet hope! kind cheat! fair fallacy by thee
we are not where nor what we be
but w hat and where we would be. thus art thou
our absent p resence , and our future now
faith’s sister! nurse of fair desire!
fear’s antidote! a wise and well~stay’d fire!
temper twixt chill despair, and torrid joy!
queen regent in young love’s minority!
though the vext chymick vainly chases
his fugitive gold though all her faces;
though love’s more fierce, more fruitlesse, fires assay
one face more fugitive than all they;
true hope ‘s a glorious hunter and her chase
the g od of nature in the fields of grace
