Two Singers.

Two Singers.
Two singers there were. and one was like
To queen in her royal gown
With stately step and pride agleam
In the deep of her eyes Of brown;
And ones was face with a Sentler
Ana eyes that a heart shone through
Eyes that borrowed the schoolday tint
OF little Sunbonnet of blue.
one was a singer Of great renown,
Now stirring the blood with a note.
Now charming the ear with the cultured
tones
That came from her shapely throat;
And one was singer of songs Of love,
And she knew not the ways of art;
But she sang right on past the ear and
Rich melodies round the heart.
Two tributes of song-and one was lost
IN the deafening voley of cheers;
And one throbbed on when the singer
Ana the answer was silence ana tears.
All, many the day that has passed since
And the singers who sang are not;
But memory holds To a little song,
And the other-foCSot! forgot,
