The Undertow,
Ripples of Inughter on the beach,
Wave after wave of careless speech ;
An under current of sober thought,
With many a hidden meaning fraught.
Lightly they talk but uncon fessed
A thorn is hid in hus tortured breast;
A womanly maiden will make no sign:
“This pear] of pearis will never be mine.”
Ropes of sand are feeble and slack,
Yet hold the surging ocean back ;
And decorous manner, fair pretense,
Are making another strong defense,
She sings him many a gay refrain
With but one thought in her busy brain ;
“He goes to-morrow I heard them say.
{ He does not love me, he will not stay.”
i
Meeting them while the sunset burned,
Something told me the tide bad turned,
I think neither will ever know
How near the treacherous undertow
Came to sweeping them far apart,
Now, with joy In each trusting heart,
No thought of fear, no fear of wrong,
When love's full tide is deep and strong.
