Good Hope

    By Ralph Waldo Emerson



    The cup of life is not so shallow
    That we have drained the best,
    That all the wine at once we swallow
    And lees make all the rest.

    Maids of as soft a bloom shall marry
    As Hymen yet hath blessed,
    And fairer forms are in the quarry
    Than Phidias released.
