Show LIFE'S GIFTS. By Olive Screiner. I saw & woman sleeping. In her sleep she dreamt that Life stood before her and held in each hand a gift In the one Love, in the other Freedom. And Life said to the Woman: "Choose"! And the Woman waited long, and she said "Freedom!" And Life said: Thou hast well chosen. If thou hadst said 'Love,' I would have given theo that thou didst ask for; and I would have gone from thee, and returned to thee no more. Now the day will come when T shall return. In that day I shall bear both gifts in one hand." I heard the Woman laugh in her sleep. The Mirror. |
