 Perhaps from out the thousands passing b}^— 
 The Citys hopeless lotos^eaters these. 
 Blown by the four winds of the seven seas 
 
 From common want to common company^ 
 
 Perhaps someone may lift a heavy eye 
 
 And see, dream-hlown across his memories. 
 Those golden pennons bellying in the breeze 
 
 And spread for ports where fair adventures lie.

 And O ! that such a one may stay a space 
 And taste of sympathy, till to his ears 
 
 Might come the tale of him who l^ew the grace 
 To suffer sweetly through the bitter years; 
 
 To catch the smile concealed in Fortunes face 
 And draw contentment from a cup of tears!
