LET me take heart! The present scene shall soon be o’er;

The clustering clouds shall hide the sun at noon no more.

The tears now dropping from mine eyes shall be forgot;

 And joys, undimmed by sin and misery, my lot.

The storm now sweeping through the troubled sky be past;

The longed-for morning without clouds arise at last.

The hindmost shadow soon shall utterly depart;

Then let me watch and wait, and hopefully take heart.
