Florence Earle Coates (Флоренс Эрл Коутс) First and Last Hope smiles a welcome, if no other smiles, Upon our entrance to this world of pain; And on each purpose of our youth again, With an inspiring sympathy, she smiles. She leads us forth to battle, and beguiles Our anguish when the long fight proves in vain; Till, pierced by countless wounds, amongst the slain We leave her, while the victor foe reviles. But even as we touch at ruin's verge, And hear the voices of despair that urge The fatal plunge to chaos, Hope alone,— How healèd and how ransomed none may guess,— Rising again in pallid loveliness, Resumes her sway, a thousand times o'erthrown.
