THE TWINS.

From beautiful lake in the mountain
Two rivulets camp down,
With rustic and futter Like ribbons Of blue
By delicate breezes blown.
Ger beds Of golden lustre,
In the shadow Of rock and tree,
They sang the tune with their silvery tongues
And clapped their hands In glee.
Ger rocks with moses mautlcd
They eddied and whirled like waltzng pair,
TIL hand in hand with laughter and leap
They mingled their misty hair.
0rer the Ee1f-same Lodges,
Singing the self-sano tune,
They passed from April to breezy May
Toward the fields Of June.
They whirled and danced and dalied,
And through the meadows aid,
TIL under the sane thick grass and flowers
Their future course WAS hid.

OF one fair mother born,
Like two young clouds Of golden hue
That smile on the breast Of Morn.
The same in age and beauty,
The same in voice and sfze,-
The same bright hnir upon their headE
The same blue in their, eyes.
Singing the same song As ever
In the self-same slvery tune,
They passed from April into May
Toward the fields Of June.
They whirled, and danced, and dalned,
The beautiful wales amid,
Till under the same thick leaves and flowers
