TWO BRILLIANTS, by                    
First Line: Two trod by - ways of poesy one day
Last Line: Of worth and wisdom from the realm of thought.
Subject(s): Jewelry & Jewelers


Two trod by-ways of poesy one day,
And each by chance a sparkling brilliant found.
Joyful they were that fortune led their way
Along this path of Art's enchanted ground.

One brought his jewel where it might engage
The eyes to note and praise its rare design.
Lustrous it lay upon the printed page,
A gleaming solitaire from the poet's mine.

The other had for human good a dream.
With heart and brain afire he tireless wrought
And set his gem to beautify a theme
Of worth and wisdom from the realm of thought.
