Daughter of Faith, awake, arise, illume
The dread unknown, the chaos of the tomb.

Cease, every joy, to glimmer in my mind,
But leave,—oh! leave the light of Hope behind!

With thee, sweet Hope! resides the heav'nly light,
That pours remotest rapture on the sight:
Thine is the charm of life's bewilder'd way,
That calls each slumb'ring passion into play.

The Pleasures of Hope (1799)
