They say that Hope is happiness- But genuine Love must prize the past; And Mem'ry wakes the thoughts that bless: They rose the first-they set the last.And all that mem'ry loves the most Was once our only hope to be: And all that hope adored and lost Hath melted into memory.Alas! it is delusion all- The future cheats us from afar: Nor can we be what we recall, Nor dare we think on what we are.-Lord Byron "They say Hope is happiness"
