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

Life has always been hard for the poet, and since childhood, she has wanted something better than her current situation. In retrospect, her memories of childhood remain ugly, and everything hoped for in adulthood has disappointed. There has been little good, except a certain man, William, and she has little hope left in life, except the promise of whatever waits after death. However, the poet’s love for William is such that, if she could have him back, she would choose him over heaven.
So, the poem is built around an Orphean trope, and she is Eurydice, hoping that Orpheus will return her to life from death. Despite her reference to the blessed isles of pagan mythology, the afterlife she describes appears generically Christian. So, she may also be implying that William is her redeemer and has instilled in her an eschatological faith. She may be either describing him Christologically, or using William as a way to think about Christ. Given what little the poem offers, we couldn’t say.
