There are three lessons I would write- Three words, as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light, Upon the heart of men. Have hope! though clouds environ round, And gladness hides her face in scorn, Put thou the shadow from thy brow, No night but hath its morn. Have love! not love alone for one, But man as man thy brother call, And scatter like the circling sun, Thy charities on all. Friedrich Schiller
About This Quote

The three lessons that I would write with a burning pen are: Have hope! Though clouds environ round, And gladness hides her face in scorn, Put thou the shadow from thy brow, No night but hath its morn.Have love! not love alone for one, But man as man thy brother call, And scatter like the circling sun, Thy charities on all. In the first sentence of the poem, there is a meaning of have hope! have faith in your self and have faith in God. In the second sentence, there is a meaning of have faith in others and not love only one person. In the third sentence, there is a meaning of don’t feel that you will never be happy or ever receive happiness again because there is always a tomorrow.
