Hope Poem by Harold Begbie,
Words Of Hope For Hopeless Hearts
Hope painting by George Frederic Watts
The Bandage From Eyes
One star, one string, and all the rest
Darkness and everlasting space,
Save that she shelters in her breast
The travail of the race.
Borne thro' the cold and soundless deep
With ruin riding down the air,
She bows, to heavenly to weep,
Too human to despair.
And ever on her lonely string
Expects the music from above,
Some faint confirming whispering
Of fatherhood and love.
One star, one string, and thro' the drift
Of aeons sad with human cries
She waits the hand of God to lift
The bandage from eyes.
