Hope, my fair lady!

I searched the moors far and wide

Even thought of scouring the skies

But with every new effort I made

You seemed to make a faster escape

Every pause for that tiny morsel of food

Did nothing but scare me good

For i was afraid time was running out fast

And i just had to, had to, make it past

Past the armies of His standing in our way

And into your sweet arms where my joys lay

I have seen misery enough for a long lifetime

I now long to hear my bells of luck chime

To tell me that my days have come

And all my dreams will finally, reality become

As i pause to ponder this need of mine

A tiny wisp of light in my mind does shine

And i know I am closer to finding you

For desire is a form you, Hope, so true

I stumble a little in my haste to wake

But with two hands firm, this blessing I take

And promise to bid these long hours in wait

For the brighter dawn, with which you me bait

I rest my faith in thee, fair lady

And trust you to show me how happy I can be.
