Very secret, still and sweet,
S&e frsn all prsfaning feet.
Why art hersm Joy, startled, eyfsds

II came here to weep" said Joy.
Tears are ever my employ"
Murmured Sorrow. yet sec
Tears as grateful were to thes.
Come, young novice, and be taught
How to ease thy heart o'erfraught"
Joy sat down at Sorrows feet.
And was taught lessen sweet.
Fain would he mako kind return,
Sorrow, art too old to learn!
Nay' Then tarry yet a while,
Till I've taught thee how to smils!s
Since that hour the two have been
Bound as by mysterious kin:
Since that hour they so exchange
Tears and smiles, tbs nothing strange
II sometimes a puzzled heart
Scarce can tell the twain apart.
