comotive,and we are whirling away together, my boy-lover still,but always a manly man, whispered in my ear: I bless the day the horses brought me Bessand luck. The End. I wonder if ever a song was sung, But the singers heart sang sweeter?I wonder if ever a rhyme was rung, But the thought surpassed the meter?I wonder if ever the sculptor wrought, Till the cold stone echoed his inmost thought?Or if ever a painter, with light and shade, The dream of his inmost soul hetrayed? —Anonymous.
