 (5 Marks)
Life What though death at times steps in,
Life, believe, is not a dream, And calls our Best away ?
So dark as sages say; What though Sorrow seems to win,
Oft a little morning rain O’er hope a heavy sway ?
Foretells a pleasant day : Yet Hope again elastic springs,
Sometimes there are clouds of gloom, Unconquered, though she fell,
But these are transient all; Still buoyant are her golden wings,
If the shower will make the roses bloom, Still strong to bear us well.
Oh, why lament its fall ?   Manfully, fearlessly,
  Rapidly, merrily, The day of trial bear,
Life’s sunny hours flit by,   For gloriously, victoriously,
  Gratefully, cheerily, Can courage quell despair !
Enjoy them as they fly.  - Charlotte Bronte
