9573. I think the following- poem may- 

 be the one asked for by S. H. S. 

 I L. K. 



TOU OR I 

 (Every Saturday) 

 If we could know 

 Which of us, darling-, would he first to go, 

 Who would be first to breast the swelling 

 tide. 



And step alone upon the other side— 

 If we could know! 



Should I my love to you more oft express? 

 Or should I grieve you, darlinir, any less— 

 ■ If it were you? 



If it were I, 

 Should I Improve the moments slipping by? 

 Should I more closely follow God's great 

 plan, 



iBe filled with a sweeter charitv to man— 

 If .it were I? , 



If we could know! 

 We cannot, darling, and 't is better so 

 I should forget, just as I do today, 

 And walk along the same old, stumbling 



If I could know. 



I would not know > 

 TVhioh of us, darling, will be first to go, 

 I only wish the space may not be long 

 Between the parting and the greeting song; 

 But when, or where, or how w© 're called 

 to go— 

 I I livould not know.
