WE TWO.


If summer days invite, or bleak winds
blow
What matters it. if we two are to-
gether?
We two, we two, we make our world
our weather.
we two make banquets of the plainest
fare;
sure;
We hide with wreaths the furrowed brow
of care.
And win to smiles the set lips of despair
For US life always moves with lifting
measure
We two, we two, we make our joy, our
pleasure.
We two find youth renewed with every
dawn;
Each day holds something of an I'M
known glory.
We waste no thought on grief or pleasure
gone;
Tricked out like hope, time leads us on
and on,
story,
We two, we two, we find the paths of
glory.
We two make heaven here on this little
earth;
We do not need to wait for realms eter-
We know the use of tears, know sorrows
WORTH
And pain for us is always loves rebirth.
fl,tr he olAC hxy hn
supernal;
We two. we two, we live in love eternal.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in May Century.
