Hope by Schiller

Posted in

When we sink at the grave, why the grave has scope,
And over the coffin men planted HOPE!
And it is not a dream of a fancy proud,
With a fool for its dull begetter;
There’s a voice at the heart proclaims aloud –
"We are born for a something Better!"
And that voice of the heart, oh ye may believe,
Will never the hope of the soul deceive.
Translated Lord Lytton
