Princess Zara

THE THEME

Two shall be born the whole wide world apart;

And speak in different tongues, and have no thought

Each of the other's being, and no heed;

And these o'er unknown seas to unknown lands

Shall cross, escaping wreck, defying death,

And all unconsciously shape every act

And lend each wandering step to this one end,--

That, one day, out of darkness, they shall meet

And read life's meaning in each other's eyes.

SUSAN MARR SPALDING.
