CHAPTER XXVIII.
A PROJECT.
The sun was setting o'er the sea,
A beautiful and summer sun;
Crimson and bright, as if not night,
But rather day had just begun:
That lighted sky, that lighted sea,
They spoke of Love and Hope to me.
I thought how Love, I thought how Hope,
O'er the horizon of my heart
Had poured their light like yonder sun;
Like yon sun, only to depart:
Alas! that ever suns should set,
Or Hope grow cold, or Love forget!
Blanchard’s title is:
HOPE AND LOVE
A ‘Song’ from The London Literary Gazette, 25th December 1824
