A WEDDING WISH.

TO MR. AND MRS. H.

A leading light of midnight skies
Appears but one to seamen's eyes,
Yet twain there are,
And each a star,
Perhaps a sun:—
May you, my Friends, reverse the view,
And while on earth you look like Two,
From heaven be seen as One;
Yea, like that graceful symbol, be
A double star of constancy.
