“Work without Hope” is a short poem By Samuel Taylor Coleridge composed on 21st February 1825. It describes the ways in which Nature works and the importance of goals, or hopes, to work for the things.

The most important part of the poem to answer this question comes in the second stanza where the speaker expresses that he has no hopes to work towards, nor any real object to set his mind on.

The meaning of this passage is that:

A-Hope cannot exist if there is no motivation to sustain it.
