Rh That when the light falls dimmer,

Still some God-sent glimmer

May hold us steadfast ever,

To the track that we should keep.

Hope for the trending of it,

Hope for the ending of it,

Hope for all around us,

That it ripens in the sun.

Hope for what is waning,

Hope for what is gaining,

Hope for what is waiting

When the long day is done.

Hope that He, the nameless,

May still be best and blameless,

Nor ever end His highest

With the earthworm and the slime.
