These were not mortals standing there
With eyes bent on . sleeping child
Who, all unmindful of their care,
Saw dreams at which his red lips smiled,
And one was blue-eyed, with face
Round, which the brown hair closely curled
With such soft, bswitching grace,
It might have maddened half the world.
The others meek eyes raised above,
Seemed reading trouble for tomorrow;
The broWn-haired, blue-eyed one was Love,
The other was her sister, Sorrow.
And Loves bright wings flashed here and there
You looked TO see her float away,
But Sorrows dropped with silent care,
As though prepared for longer stay.
@Now, sister, give me this fair boy"
The bIae-eyed angel gently said,
IA bosom soft and warm with joy,
Shonld only pillow such head,
You've followed me where e'er roam,
You've chung to me through many years,
And when touch q heart, you come
And blot the record with your tears"
The meek-eyed angel foated near,
And took the soft hand of her sister,
And on her cheek there was q tear,
That trembled a. she gently kissed her.
a0h, Lowell thou dost remember well,
When Eve and Adam were too wise,
And weeping forth q sad farewell,
We went with them from Paradise.
They wondered at the storm above,
And what the flowers would do without them
think they would have died, sweet Love,
But that your arms were tWined about them.
loved the stars and soft blue skies,
And winds that sung to Us at even,
And made our lovely Paradise
Almost as beautiful as heaven.
@And 50 wept and prayed that they
Might go, from my dark presence free,
While /, the meek-eyed one, would stray
And weary heaven with prayers for thee.
The guarding angel shook his head,
And sadly pointed up shove
And said aAlas it is decreed
You part not with your sister, Love.
GShe was the fairest from her birth,
But, pale-faeed Sorrow thou art wise;
While Love would make their heaven on earth,
Thou1t mind them Of lost Paradise
could not leave thee then, and now"
But Loves bright arms were round her thrown,
And that one kiss on Sorrows brow,
Had left brightness like her own.
GDear sister, this fair boy shall be
A pilgrim at my radiant shrine,
But every time be bends his knee,
Half of the offering shall be thine"
The boy awoke almost in tears,
So strange and sad the vision seemed;
Perchanee he knew in after years
He had not only slept and dreamed.
