THE TWO WORLDS.
Two worlds know I. The first, the retl Crude unintelligible mass Of things, cities, and men. I steal Sly glances at this immense distraction Where every hour wild faction faceth fao» tion, But cannot it compass.
But other world — my own. Perchance
The idlest phantom of «n idle tberoe. Your roadways glow and glimmer witll romance, Success appears to crown, each fond en-
•deavour, And lovers meet and meet, while suns shin* ever :
Thus my world of dream. Two worlds estranged, two worlds that hold My soul in bondage— what care I! The first one finds me bought or sold, Ruling by *on law of circumstances. But thou, O other -«alm of sun-washea fancies, Art richer than earth's gold. Jj. VOW KAUXBAOt.
