TRUE LOVE BETTER THAN GOLD.
We started one morn, my love and I, On a journey brave and bold; 'Twas to find the end of the rainbow, And the buried bag of gold. But the clouds rolled by from the summer's sky, And the radiant bow grew dim, And wo lost the way where the treasure lay, Near the sunset s golden rim. The twilight fell like a curtain Pinned with the evening star, As we saw in the shining heavens The new moon's golden car. And wo said, as our hands clasped fondly, " What though we found no gold ? Our love is a richer treasure Than the rainbow's sack can hold." And years, with their joys and sorrows, Have passed since we lost the way To the beautiful buried treasure At the end of the rainbow's ray; But love has been true and tender, And life has been rich and sweet, And we still clasp hands with the olden j°y That made our day complete. —The Century.
