A WIFE TO HER HUSBAND.
One of us, dear — But one — Will sifc by a bed with a marvellous fear, And clasp a band, Growing cold as it feels for the spirit land — Darling, which one ? One of us, dear — But one — Will stand by the other's coffin bier, And look and weep, While those marble lips strange silence keep — Darling, which one ? One of us, dear — But one — By an open grave will drop a tear, And homeward go, The anguish of an unshared grief to know — Darling which one ? One of us, darling, it must be, It may be you will slip from me ; Or, perhaps my life may first be done ; Which one ? — (Detroit Free Press).
