A tV O M A N S CHOICE. 



Life brought two blossoms for her cboosing- 

 one, 



A fair white lily fresh with morning dew; 

 And one a rose nurtured in fuller sun, 



Fiery of scent and hue. 



■"The lily, cljouse." said Lite, "and like a dream 

 Thy day.s shall glide beneath a peaceful spell : 



Rut choose the rose thou shalt have pain su- 

 preme. 

 And bliss no tongue can tell !" 



The lily or the rose! Ah, must she miss 



Passion or peace? Sighing, she raised her head 



And took from Life love's flower of pain and 

 bliss — 

 "Give me the rose !" she said.
