MY SISTERS.


MY SISTERS.
- NJ AMELIA wELBY.
LIKE flowers that softly bloom together,
Upon one fair and fragile stem,
Mtnglins their sweets IN sunny weather,
Ere strange, rude hands have parted tllcn:
30 were VIC linked unto each other,
Sweet sisters. in our childish hours,
For then our fond aud gentle mother,
To US was like tho stem To flowers,
She was the golden thread that bound us
In one bright chain together here,
Till Death unloos ID tho chord around us
And We were severed far and near.
The howret's stem, when broke OF shattered.
Must cast lie BLOSSOMS To the winS
Yet round the buds, though widely scattered.
The same soft perfume still we find
And thus. although the tie is broken
That linked US round our mothers knec.
The memory VI thu words we'vo spoken
when We were children light and free,
Will. like the perfume Of each blossom,
Live IN our hearts where'er we roam.
As when we slept on one fond bosom,
And dwelt within one happy home
know that changes have come DER US:
Sweet siriers. We are not the same,
For different paths now lie before U.S.
And all three have different name:
And YET II aorrow's thinning fingers
Have shadowed Ger each youthful brow
30 much Of light around them fingers
cannot truce those shadows now
re both have those who love We only
whose dearest hopes round ys thrown:
While like a stream that wanders lonely,
Am ]. the youngest widest one.
My heart is like the wind that beareth
The wind that for no creature careth,
Yet stosieth sweets from every thing
II hath rich thoughts forever leaping
Up. like the waves Of flashing seas
inst win their music still are keeping,
Soft time with every 6tiul breeze
Each Leaf that in the bright air quiyeu,
The sounds from hidden soitudes,
And the deep flow OF far-off rivers,
And the loud rush Of many floods
All these and more, stir in my bosom
Feelings that make my spirit glad
Lake dew drops shaken in \ blossom;
And yet there is a something sad
Mixed with those thoughts, like clouds that hover
Above US in the quiet air,
Neling the moons pale beauty over
Like dark spirt broodng there.
Bot. sisters, these wild thong hts were never
fours, Tor ye would not love like me
To gaze upon the stars forever
To hear the winds wild melody;
Ye'd rather look on smiling faces,
And linger round cheerful hearth,
Than mark the stars bright hiding places
AZ they peep out upon tho earth.
But, sisters as the stars Of even
Shrink from Days golden. flashing eye,
And, melting in the depths Of Heaven
Veil their soft beams within the sky:
So shall ye pass. the joyous hearted,
The fond the young, like stars that WINE,
Till every link OF earth be parted,
To form in Heaven one mystic chain.
