CLHSS POEM Ave fftque Vale ANNE MARTIN HILARY-CARR Green, grassy paths cur eager feet still tread, Nor scarcely feel the coolness of the lawn. Bright blossoms mark the way, and straight ahead There stands a gate, yet closed. We hurry on. But suddenly recalling dreams we've shared, We kneel to smell the flowers, just once more. Then leaving that for which we long have cared, Eyes concentrate upon that looming door. There, hope stands beckoning, nor can we stay If we would know the truth that lies beyond. The gate is reached-again our steps delay, We backward glance, reluctant to respond. Stumbling, we see through tears pale bluish plots. We leave, arms laden with forget-me-nots.
