TWO VISIONS.


Where close the curving mountains drew
To clasp che stream in their embrace,
With every outline, curve, and hue
Reflected In its placid face.
The plowman stopped his team to watch
The train, as swift it Numbered by;
Some distant glimpse of life to catch,
He strains his eager wistful eye.
The morning freshness lies on him,
Just Weakened from his balmy dreams;
The travellers, begrimmed and dim,
Think longingly of mountain stream
Oh, for the joyous mountain air.
The fresh delightful autumn day
Among the hillsl The plowman there
Must have perpetual holiday
And he, as all day long he guides
His steady plow with patient hand,
Thinks of the flying train which glldes
Into some new, enchanted land.
Where, day by day, no plodding round
Wearies the frame and dulls the mind,
Where life thrills keen to sight and sound
With plows and burrows left behind.
Even so, to each, the untrod ways
OF life are touched by fancy's glow
That ever sheds it's brightest rays
Upon the path we do not knowi
