Dear Aunt Julia and All ahe Cousins:
Here l am asking you to open the door
once more. Oh. it is just West Virginia
cousin who has been here before. l am
sending a poem to be printed, 1 think 1t
is just beautiful and I am sure you all will
agree with me.
The Two Locks of Hair
youth, lighthearted and content,
wander through the world,
Here, Arab-lke, is pitched my tent,
And straight again is furled.
Yet oft I dream, that once a wife
Close in my heart was tackled,
And in the sweet repose of life
blessed child 1 racked.
1 wake! Away that dread-away;
Too long did 1t remain
So long that both by night and day
1t ever comes again.
The end lies ever In my thought;
To a grave cold and deep,
The mother beautiful was brought,
Then dropt the child asleep.
But now the dream Is wholly over,
| battle mine eyes and see, !
And wander through the world once more
Ayouth so light and free.
Two locks-and they are wondrous fair
Left me that vision mild,
The brown is from the mothers hair,
The blond is from the child.
And when see that lock of gold,
Pale grows the evening-red.
And when the dark lock l behold
wish that ! was dead.
l would like to hear from all who care
to write, will answer all letters received
from boys and girls. I will bid you all
adieu (MISS) BERNICE HUGHES.
