PAINTING THE CLOUDS By Mae Mensendiek, '35 When I long for a bit of bright sunshine To dispel the bleak winters dense gloom. My bookfriends I summon to make me A Southland right here in my room. For me then the snow turns to dewdrops. The bare leafless branches to green: A balmy breeze calls to existence Fair flowers of wondrous bright sheen. Twelve The songs of the birds then enchant me As spellbound I listen and smile. Till I waken and start-to discover That I've only been dreaming the while To End such delights the while dreaming I s really a pleasant surprise: For you see I 've discovered the secret Of wiping all clouds from the skies.
