a dialogue.

Of love's soft radiance melting care away,
The summer sunshine of our fitful day.

VOICE OF THE HEART.

Yea, friends in name I know that I possess,
And friends in power, prosperity, and bliss,
And friends to smile when all is bright and gay,
But not one friend to share a soul's dismay.

And thus, with all the world can give, I feel
A chilly sadness o'er emotions steal;
For who could bear to tel the soul's deep thrill
To those who care not if that soul were still.
