Two Journeys
"I Its on a journey far away,"
He said and he atooped and kissed me
then
"Over the ocean for many a day-
Good-bye," and he kissed me once again.
But only a lew abort montha bad rledi
ft ben again I answered my husband s kiss I
"I could not tarry awav," he said ;
"There is never a land as fair aa this."
Again I stood by my husband', aide.
"I go on a journey, sweet, to-day ;
Over tbe river the boatmen glide
Good-bye ; I shall linger long away
Ah, he will come back soon, I know."
I ssid, as I stooped for tne parting kiss :
"He cannot tarry, be told me so.
There is never a land so fair as this.
But many a month and many a year
Have flown since my darling went away.
Will be never come back to meet me here ?
Has he found the region of perfect day ?
Over the ocean be went and came ;.
Over the river, and lingers there I
Ob, pallid boatman I call my name
Show me the region so wondrous fair.
