Grief Let me sit in the sun And polish my brass howls Nor think they once reflected Cream-petaled roses, gifts of love, So often now they ' ve held Rue and rosemary. Lonely Thoughts Black beyond blackness of night Or of blindness are they, Lacking the hope of dawn That lightens the one Or the imagination that colors The other. Pressed within some safe receptacle They ferment And give off an acrid fragrance. Silenced to all but one Pair of ears, The ' quiver and send up to Heaven The shrill monotony Of self-pity. —Dorothy A. Martin [ 212 ]

Glimmer A star peeks in my window every night, And when I feel it shining on my pillow 1 turn and look to find my lovely star. But when I gaze, the sky is blue and void — No star, no gleam. Some trick was played upon me ! I turn my head away in secret sorrow, And there my star shines whiter than before. Rondeau The snow lies deep in Blue Ridge hills. It buries gently woodland rills And trees and bushes, gleaming white. ft blankets all my world tonight And covers soft this heart it chills. The sifting snow in silence stills Each shattered bit. So grind the mills Of gods. On every dreamed delight The snow lies deep. The love that brought my heart such thrills Now stabs it through with anguish, kills The lingering flame and puts to flight The soul of beauty. Small and slight. The sunken grave so slowly fills. The snow lies deep. — Sarah Lemmon [213]
