TWO TOILERS. 



Two men toiled side by side from sun to 



sun, 



And both were poor. 

 Both sat with children when the day was 



done, 

 About the door. 



One saw the beautiful in crimson cloud 



And shining moon; 

 The other with his head in sadness bowed, 



Made night of noon. 



One loved each tree and flower and singing 

 bird 



On mount or plain; 

 Xo music in the soul of one was stirred 



By leaf or rain. 



One saw the good in every fellow man, 



And hoped the best; 

 The other marveled at his Master's plan, 



And doubt confessed. 



One having heaven above and heaven 



below; 



Was satisfied; 



The other discontented, lived in woe, 

 And hopeless died
