THE OTHER ONE.
The river last night swept the bridge away And so we must wade through the river to-day, The maidens sing as they wade, and are gay. A little sister the dead child had. Since it died little sister has grown more glad, And saith to her mother: " Its own sweet smile The one that is dead unto me did give ; And all the life that it might not iive Now lives in me." But the mother, the while Fell a-weeping, and bowed her head, And remembered the child that was dead. The river last night swept the bridge away And so we must wade through the river to-day, The maidens sing as they wade, and are gay. —From the Bard of Dimbovitza.
