"Our lives are two-fold-'' Side by side,
The substance and the dream,
The shallow stream und silent depths,
The sun and starry beam,
Glide very close, yet may not meet
May devilte. yet not part:
The dead hope In the silent breast
Chil1s not the bounding heart-
and TINS. to careless. rhoughtless eyes.
Two lives may How together
May glide thro many devious ways,
Through storms or Summer-weather--
May seek the same deep channels where
The tide seems one forever,
Yet meet but in the mutual hope
Those adverse tides may sever.
Within one breast may lire hope
Radiant as Sum1uer-roses,
Whose silent lip keeps watch and ward, -
And ne'er its wealth discloses:
While side by side, on slumbrous couch,
Weird shadows DER them playing,
Each give their own wild fancfeS wing
To dreams around them straying-
While one-nh! who can tell the depths
by spirits dark descended
When my dream, OK hope In life
With impure thoughts are blended,
And dreams that darken Nll the night
Within one bruiu are wlnxing,
Yet echo not one faint, sweet note
Throughout the other ringing.
"a Our lives are two fold" Glnncing smiles
And musie-tonc urc telling
OF lives all sunshine. Can'St thou hear
The death-beft's mut{ted kneliiuE:
Cnn'St hear within the vibrant voice
The undertone Of sadness,
Or catch the breaking hcnrt's refrain
In tones attuned to giudness?
