Language — OUR SOULS ARE UNITED. 
My bride, 
My wife, my life! 0, we will walk this world, 
Yoked in all exercise of noble aim, 
And so through those dark gates across the wild, 
That no man knows. 
Tenhtson. 
There are two hearts, whose movements thrill 
In unison so closely sweet, ' 
That pulse to pulse, responsive still, 
They both must heave — or cease to beat. 
There are two souls, whose equal flow 
In gentle streams so calmly run, 
That when they part- They part ? Ah, no ! 
They cannot part — those souls are one. 
Babton. 
Once my soul was fondly plighted 
To a holy one of earth — 
Like two music notes united, 
Notes that severed in their birth. 
Yet not severed we, though parted, 
Still in truth our souls are one, 
Though on earth the gentle-hearted 
Hath her blessed mission done.
