LIFE'S FACES TWAIN.
Not by light-rurkled streams
have my paths been,
Nor have I lingered in
earth's pleasant dells;
Brown breadths of sand
have interspersed the wills,
Where grew gray mosses,
and sweet herbs were green;
And birds soft sang, leaf-bowers
their hermit cells;
Where beech-tree shades from
burning noons were screen;
Where wayworn feet fell soft.
and dreamland spells
Made still all life-jar
under glory sheen.
Yet I have had large
glimpses of bright day
Seen, through Night's storm-rifts
light of pulsing stars;
And, though I am awearied
with the way,
Right well I know
'tis human frailty mars
Vision, else perfect,
so, not sad the song,
For ill hath lapse with time
soul joy is everlong.
