The following beautiful poem b.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox. has been sen
for publication:
There sat two glasses, filled to the brim,
On rich mans table, rim to rim;
One was ruddy. and red as blood.
And one was clear as the crystal flood.
Said the glass of wine to his paler brother
Let us tell tales of the past to each other
| can tell of banquet, and revel and mirth
Where was king, for ruled in might,
And the proudeSt and grandest souls or
earth,
| Fell under my touch, as though strnck
with blight.
From the heads of kings l have torn the
crown,
From the heights of fame l have hurled
men down;
l have blasted many an honOred name;
have taken virtue and given shame;
l have tempted the youth with sip, a
taste,
Which has made his future barren waste
Far greater than any king am 1,
Or than any army beneath the sky;
l have made the arm of the driver fail,
And set the train from its iron rail;
l have made good ships 60 down at sea,
And the shrieks OF the lost were sweet to
me,
For they said, Behold, how great you be-!
Fame, strength, wealth. genius, before
you fall.
And your mighty power are over ALL
Hoi Ho pale BROTHER" laughed the wine,
Can you boast of deeds as great as miner"
Said the water glass, 81 can not boast
OF king dethrOned, or a murdered host;
But can tell of hearts that were sad,
By my crystal drops made light and glad;
Of thirst have quenched, and brows l
have laved;
OF hands have cooled, and souls I've
saved.
have 1eaped through the valley,
Dashed down the mountain,
Slept in the sunshine, and dripped from
the fountain;
have burst my cloud fetters and dropped
from the sky,
And everywhere gladdened the landscape
and eye.
l have eased the hot forehead of fever and
pain,
L have made the parched meadows grow
fertile with grain;
can tell of the powerful wheel OF the
mill
That ground out the flour, and turned at
my will;
I can tell of manhood debased by you,
That have uplifted and crowned anew.
| cheer, l help, strengthen and aid,
/ gladden. the heart of man and maid;
| set the chained wine captive free,
And all are better for knowing me"
These are the tales they told to each other,
The glass of wine and its paler brother,
AS they sat together, filled to the brim
On rich mans table, rim to RIM.
