Like One Who, Doomed.
By Thomas Moore
Like one who, doomed o'er distant seas His weary path to measure, When home at length, with favoring breeze, He brings the far-sought treasure; His ship, in sight of shore, goes down, That shore to which he hasted; And all the wealth he thought his own Is o'er the waters wasted! Like him, this heart, thro' many a track Of toil and sorrow straying, One hope alone brought fondly back, Its toil and grief repaying. Like him, alas, I see that ray Of hope before me perish, And one dark minute sweep away What years were given to cherish.
