The Two Villages L.

Over the river on tho hill,
Lieth a village quiet and still;
All around II the forest trees
shlysr and whisper IN the breeze
Over IL sailing shadows go
or soaring hawk and screaming crows
And mountain grasses, low aud sweet,
Grow In the middle Of every street.
Over the river, under the hill,
Another village lieth still;
There see In the cleudy night
Twinkling stars OF household SHIT
Fires that CLEAN from the snithys door.
Mats that curl on the river shorei
And In tho roads no grasses grow,
For the wheels that hasten TO and fro.
In that village on the hill,
Never Ia sound Of smIthy or mill;
The houses are thatched with grass and flowers,
Never q clock 10 toll the hours;
The marble doors are always shut,
You cannot enter In hall or hut;
All the villagers lie asleep;
Never grain to sow or reap;
Never In dreams TO moan or sigh,
Silent, aud idle. and low they Ito.
In that village under the hill,
When a night u starry aud still,
Many n weary soul in prayer
Looks 20 the other village there
And weeping, and signing, longs to go
tIp 70 that home from this below;
Longs 20 sleep by the forest wild,
WHITTIER have vanished wife and child.
