THE TWO STARS.
,'.':■"; (FEOM TINSLEX's MAGAZINE.) : There exists a tradition that a wish will be fulfilled if expressed while a star is falling. It waa here thafe we. lingered, Carina, One'sweet summer tiight by the aea, When the World seemed on Eden of gladness, And only for you and for me. It was here that your blue eyes so tender Qaye back,all I whispered of love, As;'we gazed/at two,stars/that together :: , Were smiling, in. heaven above. ■ •-"' But your little hand trembled,»Carina— We wished;what was never to tie--^-Aa ono star fell, and only the other ; Kept .wafceh/oyer you,; love, and me. You are'far from my side now, Carina] I linger alone by the sea ;; .... ,\ . For my love-dream is o'er, and a shadow Has darkened between;you;and mo. , And I try to forget vouj bufeyer : ' There smiles through the mist of my tears Your old look of love, like a sunbeam That gleams out of dear bygone years. And I think of the two stars, Carina, And the wish! that was never to be, Till a voice at my heart whispers aoftly; Of a heaven still for you and for me. .
