THE TWO BROOKS.

Two tiny springs bubbled out OF
the earth Just ut the foot Of the mountain.
One was a soft golden hue, for 1t always
reflected the sunshine, while the other cast
a dim, blue reflection which showed It's

The blue spring, when it first gushed
over the white pebbles, looked up at
the sky and the trees waving their
dark limbs above its pool.
