Anne Kingsmill Finch - Hope
Work rating: Medium

The Tree of Knowledge we in Eden prov`d; 
The Tree of Life was thence to Heav`n remov`d: 
Hope is the growth of Earth, the only Plant, 
Which either Heav`n, or Paradise cou`d want. 


Hell knows it not, to Us alone confin`d, 
And Cordial only to the Human Mind. 
Receive it then, t`expel these mortal Cares, 
Nor wave a Med`cine, which thy God prepares.
