MY HOPES by CLINTON SCOLLARD

First Line: MY HOPES ARE ALL LIKE ARGENT STRANDS
Last Line: AND HOLD THEM TO MY HEART.
Subject(s): HOPE; OPTIMISM;
MY hopes are all like argent strands
Transmuted by a magic moon;
My hopes are all like shining sands
Some distant Eldorado knows;
I gather them within my hands,
Their wondrous gleams and glows.

I gather them within my hands,
To me my life's most precious part,
The argent strands, the shining sands,
And hold them to my heart.
