TWO LOVERS.


Two lovers by moss-grown spIing;
They leaned soft cheeks together there,
Mingled the dark and sunny hair,
And heard the wooing thrushes sing,
o budding time.
o loves best prime!
Two welded from the portal step;
The bells made happy carolings,
The air was soft as tanning wings,
While petals ON the pathway swept.
o puIe-eyed bride,
o tender bride
Two hands above the head were locked;
rocked!
o solemn hour
o hidden poWeri
Two parents by the evening fire;
The red light shone about their knees
On heads that rose by slow degrees,
Like buds upon the lily spire.
o patient life!
o tender strifel
The two still sat together there;
The red light shown about their knees,
But all the heads by slow degrees
Had gone and left the lonely pair,
o voyage fast.
o vanished past
The red light shown about the floor,
And made the space between them wide;
They drew their chairs UP size by side;
Their pale cheeks joined, and said, 'Once
more?''
o memories.
o past that is.

THE SPRING POETS FATE.

The poet wrote, in his easy chair,
A rhyme with rythmicai ring,
And over his yisage a pensive air
Diffused itself as he scrubbed there,
Singing song of the spring.
The editor cursed and tore his hair,
And he ragged in his sanctum grim,
And down the steep and fatal stair
He kicked that poet of pensive air,
The poet who sang of spring.
And the poet, i'll the depths of he'll,
Bewalls his fearful lot,
For the devil does his duty well,
And into the poets private cell
He shovels the birthstone hot.
And the demons rave and rage below,
And they howl and dance and sing:
And deep in the realms of endless woe,
Where pits of sulphur burn and glow.
They lay for the poets of spring.
