Random Poem of the Day
1Am I sadly cast aside,
2On misfortune's rugged tide?
3Will the world my pains deride
4 Forever?
5Must I dwell in Slavery's night,
6And all pleasure take its flight,
7Far beyond my feeble sight,
8 Forever?
9Worst of all, must Hope grow dim,
10And withhold her cheering beam?
11Rather let me sleep and dream
12 Forever!
13Something still my heart surveys,
14Groping through this dreary maze;
15Is it Hope? -- then burn and blaze
16 Forever!
17Leave me not a wretch confined,
18Altogether lame and blind --
19Unto gross despair consigned,
20 Forever!
21Heaven! in whom can I confide?
22Canst thou not for all provide?
23Condescend to be my guide
24 Forever:
25And when this transient life shall end,
26Oh, may some kind eternal friend
27Bid me from servitude ascend,
28 Forever!
