CONTEMPLATION.
(The White Lyre.)
f I were you and you were you,
Yet neither one was either one of us—
rhe both of us a -being born
n some strange creature known to
none of us;
Aye, strange, hove
twouid be—
That creature, thing, or what it might
be named,
With your sweet face, your good pure
thoughts,
And my moan soul and ,form 'tolnpta-
tion-maimed;
Would your heart turn as bad as
ne,
And make the being worse than I
could be,
Or would my heart turn good like
yours
And make perfection when you're wed
to me?
We cannot take other mated lives,
Regret, thoso bad, and model from
the good—
What's joy to them may bo our grief;
\That sorrows then) may cause myg,
lightest mood..
f we but knew the future well,
Or well enough to judge what would
befall
f two hearts opposite were linked
For life --perhaps beyond the judg-
ment call!
Rut here we end. No one can say
How well two bonded hearts may
bonded be—
We never knew—we cannot know—
Till future years have passed to mem-
ory.
