<h2 id="id00294" style="margin-top: 4em">PAEANS</h2>
<p id="id00295">Oh! I will hold fast to Joy!<br/>
I will not let him depart—<br/>
He shall close his beautiful rainbow wings<br/>
And sing his song in my heart.<br/></p>
<p id="id00296">And I will live with Delight!<br/>
I will know what the children know<br/>
When they dance along with the April wind<br/>
To find where the catkins grow!<br/></p>
<p id="id00297">I will dream the old, old dreams,<br/>
And look for pixie and fay<br/>
In shadowy woods—and out on the hills—<br/>
As we did but yesterday.<br/></p>
<p id="id00298">Love I will keep in my soul—<br/>
Ay! even by lock and key!<br/>
There is nothing to fear in all of the world<br/>
If Love will but stay with me.<br/></p>
<p id="id00299">No, I will not let Faith go!<br/>
I will say with my latest breath—<br/>
I know there's a new and radiant road<br/>
On the other side of Death.<br/></p>
