QO we grow together, 



^ Like to a double cherry, seeming parted, 



But yet a union in partition. 



Two lovely berries molded on one stem;. 



So with two seeming bodies, but one heart.

life for me hath joy or light, 



'Tis all from thee; 

 tlioughts by day, my dreams by night. 



Are but of thee, of only thee; 

 ate'er of liope or peace I know, 

 zest in joy, my balm in woe, 

 those dear eyes of thine I owe; 



'Tis all from thee. 



T CHANGE but in dt 



May gather around 



But true as the needle. 



Will my heart turn to 



task befits thee well, 

 gather firmness as the tempests sw-ell 

 me still, companion, wife and friend, 

 ; in fond endurance to the end. 



- Victor Iluffo. 



My heart, ev'n ere I saw those eyes, 



Seem'd dooni'd to thee; 

 Kept pure till then from other ties, 



'T was all for thee, for only thee. 

 Like plants that sleep till sunny May 

 Calls forth their life, my spirit lay, 

 Till touch'd by love's awak'ning ray, 



It lived for thee, it lived for thee. 

 —Mo, 

 ing! the trials of earth 

 me and darken my path, 

 which points to the pole, 

 thee — thou beloved of tny soul. 



— T. Dreiv. 



UT green above them 

 Thy branches grow; 

 Like a buried love, or a vanish'd joy, 

 Link'd unto memories none destroy.
