Usage in poetry
To thee we come, then! Clouds are rolled
Where thou, O seer! art set;
Thy realm of thought is drear and cold--
The world is colder yet!
I woke,--and like a bird that waits,
Uncertain where to wend its flight,
My spirit lingered at the gates,
Which close upon that realm of light;
This is the grace that lives and sings
When faith and hope shall cease;
'Tis this shall strike our joyful strings
In the sweet, realms of bliss.
He’d kindly lead me to the realm
Where joyous freedom reigns,
He’d teach my soul love’s sweet control,
Then claim it for his pains.

Will wait her in a realm of light,
Nought of a future meeting whispers,
No faith illumes her soul's dark night.

The various tongues of Woe:
One said -- "Is there a hope in the to-morrow?"
And many answer'd -- "No."
