Hymns for the Amusement of Children - Hymn 32. Against Despair
OLD RALPH in the WOOD
A Raven once an Acorn took
From Bashan's tallest stoutest tree;
He hid it by a limpid brook,
And liv'd another oak to see.
Thus Melancholy buries Hope,
Which Providence keeps still alive,
And bids us with afflictions cope,
And all anxiety survive.
