SOULS’ UNION.

* Ab I looked up I felt comforted to think that the same sky and stars looked on us both.' Under the selfsame sky, dear love, U p to the starry dome You gaze, and so do I, sweetheart. Though far apart we roam. Your thoughts take fancy’s flight, dear love, And hither southward fly ; The spangled face of night, sweetheart, I watch of your north sky. The common ground of thought, dear love, To which both spirits soar, The space apart is nought, sweetheart, Our gaze can not leap o’er. Under that velvet night, dear love, We feel and understand That in those points of light, sweetheart, Our souls join hand in hand. Those very stare I know, dear love, To which you turn your eyes, From yours reflect their glow, sweetheart, To mine which watch your skies. And thus our thoughts unite, dear love, In that pure vault above. With diamonds richly dight, sweetheart, That speak our mutual love. And there in close embrace, dear love, Our souls shall nightly meet, And in that spangled space, sweetheart, Hold silent converse sweet.

Y. King.
