Work without Hope draws nectar in a sieve,
And Hope without an object cannot live.

Work without Hope (1825)

Bloom, O ye Amaranths! bloom for whom ye may,
For me ye bloom not!

Work without Hope (1825)

All Nature seems at work. Slugs leave their lair —
The bees are stirring — birds are on the wing —
And Winter slumbering in the open air,
Wears on his smiling face a dream of Spring!
And I the while, the sole unbusy thing,
Nor honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing.

Work without Hope (1825)
