ONE SONG or LOVE.

What man shall say, sweet friend, that life
Hath no rich rainbows In the strife!
Here is thy child, and here thy wifel -
Here Is the love OF one who stood
That day, in rosicst womanhood,
And said: with thee, for Ill, or goodl"
Who saw no winter In life's May 3
Thy hand in hers-thy way her way.
And all things else but yesterday! 4
Who faced .he future, and who said:
III thorns or roses be thy bed,
There by thy side, lay my head"
And here. when storms are blowing wild
Close to those earlier lips that smiled,
There comes the clinging OF a child
Arms like necklace, may adorn
Thy necki At night the stars are
born,
And splendor heralds every morn.
Oh, storm. and strife. and povertyi
What kindly ministers are ye.
While Love still spreads couch for mel
That love which still endureth long
Content to suffer and be strong;
That makes all life one songl one song!
