<h2><SPAN name="poem09"></SPAN>WE TWO</h2>
<p class="poetry"> We two make home of any place
we go;<br/>
We two find joy in any kind of weather;<br/>
Or if the earth is clothed in bloom or snow,<br/>
If summer days invite, or bleak winds blow,<br/>
What matters it if we two are together?<br/>
We two, we two, we make our world, our weather.</p>
<p class="poetry"> We two make banquets of the
plainest fare;<br/>
In every cup we find the thrill of pleasure;<br/>
We hide with wreaths the furrowed brow of care,<br/>
And win to smiles the set lips of despair.<br/>
For us life always moves with lilting measure;<br/>
We two, we two, we make our world, our pleasure.</p>
<p class="poetry"> We two find youth renewed
with every dawn;<br/>
Each day holds something of an unknown glory.<br/>
We waste no thought on grief or pleasure gone;<br/>
Tricked out like hope, time leads us on and on,<br/>
And thrums upon his harp new song or story.<br/>
We two, we two, we find the paths of glory.</p>
<p class="poetry"> We two make heaven here on
this little earth;<br/>
We do not need to wait for realms eternal.<br/>
We know the use of tears, know sorrow’s
worth,<br/>
And pain for us is always love’s rebirth.<br/>
Our paths lead closely by the paths supernal;<br/>
We two, we two, we live in love eternal.</p>
