Eames How short a time it seems since weHave seen them pass together,— Those two girls, ever arm in arm,In fair or stormy weather! Indeed, it seems but yesterday,And yet years must have flown; For into women, handsome, tall,Both maidens now are grown. The one, out in the noisy world, Pursues a grand career;And votaries of art go far Her wondrous voice to hear. Clear as the sound of limpid streams,Sweet as the wood-birds call, Her tones upon the listening earMelodiously fall. Fortune and fame and love of men Before her feet low he,All that ambition proud could claim Or seek to satisfy. The other woman, gentle, sweet, In quiet ways is seen; *And those who wish to hear her praise Must go where want hath been. To him who knows the healing touch Of her slender little hand;To the hungry fed, the naked clothed, The stricken in the land.
