TAKE HEART
BY HILLY.
Take heart she said when trouble weigh
ed him down,
Your sorrows you but double when yon
frown.
Take heart nor lot * sornbrr cloud
Your hopes and energies enshrowd :
But Watch the faintest rift of blue,
And then take heart—brgin anew.
The heart she still repented with a sweet
smile,
Nor own yourself defeated yet wait a
while.
Let youth and health and strength
prevail
Against these demon* that assail
And thus recure a brighter day
By taking heart without delay.
He listen to the preaching of the true
little maid,
Nor sought her pretty leaching to up¬
braid ;
Another heart I need forsooth’
Exclaimed die late despondent youth
Your remedy relief insures :
Take heart I will (so give me yours.)
