Analysis of Hope
Letitia Elizabeth Landon 1802 (Chelsea) – 1838 (Cape Coast)
Is not the lark companion of the spring?
And should not Hope — that sky-lark of the heart--
Bear, with her sunny song, youth company ?
Still is its sweetest music poured for love ;
And that is not for me : yet will I love,
And hope, though only for her praise and tears ;
And they will make the laurel's cold bright leaves
Sweet as the tender myrtle.
