Reunion
After long years I locked again, to-day, Jntb the well-loved face Of an-old friend— Saw in her eyes ' The smoldering, latent fires Of treasured memories Spring to sudden flame; Felt her hand close on mine In tender strength; Heard her famllar voice Cry out my name. And suddenly My heart began to sing A hymn of gratitude, A song of praise/ ' Fpr the sweet presence Of fhat old-time friend. For the swift love That leapt, across the years, Bridging the decades , We had spent apart} . ; Finding: at”, once, Si ?:&., } Washed by joy-’s tender tears. The ‘still, green valley ■ Where heart speaks to heart. ELEANOR G. E. YOUNG.
