SAGE AND SINGER.

Within an old town by the sea A vise man and a singer dwelt;

The wise man spoke laboriously And taught with pain the truth he felt;

The singer scattered everywhere His careless music to the air.

The wise man and the singer both l i e now within the churchyard green;

Summer and spring have plighted troth An hundred years they have not seen.

No traces of their vanished feet Are in the old high gabled street.

And of the wise man's labored words Not one is now remembered well;

But still, as clearly as spring birds, The singer's simple love songs swell,

And in the old town seem a part Of every h o m e and every heart.!
