| saw them when the glowing East
Lit up the silver bay,
one dark as night without STAR
one fair as dawnlng day.
Two sisters from the mornlng-iano'
With radiant faces stood,
They offered me their tribute rare,
And both alike seemed good
one stood with lifted eyes, alight
With glory from above,
With Joyous mein she offered me,
Work, sacrifice and love.
The lights of home at twilight,
Quiet rest the happy voice
OF wife and child in greeting,
The wine of life, that bids the heart re-
joice.
The others dark eyes held me,
Her offerings, wealth. the power 70

The minds of men,
To rule from day to day;
Travel. ease and pleasure.
All. surely these are best
I closer. closer drew her.
Her dark head on my breast.
The wears slip by. the long, long years.
The power to rule no solace brings,
There is no JOY in serving self,
No happiness in things.
Low in my cup the wine or life,
Gold turns to dross, pleasure TO pam,
Come back lost youth, come back,
Oh let me chose again.
