Poem by Lucy Maud Montgomery

Two Loves

One said; ”Lo, I would walk hand-clasped with thee
Adown the ways of joy and sunlit slopes
Of earthly song in happiest vagrancy
To pluck the blossom of a thousand hopes. 
Let us together drain the wide world’s cup 
With gladness brimm’ed up!” 

And one said, ”I would pray to go with thee
When sorrow claims thee; I would fence thy heart
With mine against all anguish; I would be
The comforter and healer of thy smart; 
And I would count it all the wide world’s gain 
To spare or share thy pain!”

1. As the Heart Hopes
2. Midnight in Camp
3. The Seeker
4. To One Hated
5. At Nightfall
