IF THIS BE ALL.

O God！ if this indeed be all That Life can show to me； If on my aching brow may fall No freshening dew from Thee；

If with no brighter light than this The lamp of hope may glow, And I may only dream of bliss¹, And wake to weary woe²；

If friendship's solace³ must decay, When other joys are gone, And love must keep so far away, While I go wandering on,-

Wandering and toiling⁴ without gain, The slave of others' will, With constant care, and frequent pain, Despised, forgotten still；

Grieving to look on vice⁵ and sin, Yet powerless to quell⁶ The silent current from within, The outward torrent's swell⁷

While all the good I would impart, The feelings I would share, Are driven backward to my heart, And turned to wormwood there；

If clouds must EVER keep from sight The glories of the Sun, And I must suffer Winter's blight⁸, Ere Summer is begun；

If Life must be so full of care, Then call me soon to thee； Or give me strength enough to bear My load of misery⁹.
