Two bubbles on a mountain stream	A
Began their race one shining morn	B
And lighted by the ruddy beam	A
Went dancing down 'mid shrub and thorn	B
	-
The stream was narrow wild and lone	C
But gayly dashed o'er mound and rock	D
And brighter still the bubbles shone	C
As if they loved the whirling shock	D
	-
Each leaf and flower and sunny ray	E
Was pictured on them as they flew	F
And o'er their bosoms seemed to play	E
In lovelier forms and colors new	F
	-
Thus on they went and side by side	G
They kept in sad and sunny weather	H
And rough or smooth the flowing tide	G
They brightest shone when close together	H
	-
Nor did they deem that they could sever	H
That clouds could rise or morning wane	I
They loved and thought that love for ever	H
Would bind them in its gentle chain	I
	-
But soon the mountain slope was o'er	H
And 'mid new scenes the waters flowed	J
And the two bubbles now no more	K
With their first morning beauty glowed	J
	-
They parted and the sunny ray	E
That from each other's love they borrowed	J
That made their dancing bosoms gay	E
While other bubbles round them sorrowed	J
	-
That ray was dimmed and on the wind	J
A shadow came as if from Heaven	L
Yet on they flew and sought to find	J
From strife the bliss that love had given	L
	-
They parted yet in sight they kept	J
And rivals now the friends became	M
And if perchance the eddies swept	J
Them close they flashed with flame	M
	-
And fiercer forward seemed to bound	J
With the swift ripples toward the main	I
And all the lesser bubbles round	J
Each sought to gather in its train	I
	-
They strove and in that eager strife	N
Their morning friendship was forgot	J
And all the joys that sweeten life	N
The rival bubbles knew them not	J
	-
The leaves the flowers the grassy shore	K
Were all neglected in the chase	O
And on their bosoms now no more	K
These forms of beauty found a place	O
	-
But all was dim and drear within	P
And envy dwelt where love was known	C
And images of fear and sin	P
Were traced where truth and pleasure shone	C
	-
The clouds grew dark the tide swelled high	Q
And gloom was o'er the waters flung	R
But riding on the billows nigh	Q
Each other now the bubbles swung	R
	-
Closer and closer still they rushed	J
In anger o'er the rolling river	H
They met and 'mid the waters crushed	J
The rival bubbles burst for ever	H
