Kathryn Wells Dedicated to the Pupils of the Grand Junction High School (By Effie M. Brooks) You ask us for a bit or what we’ve, gained These few short years we’ve lived among you here? You ask that we should tell you how we’ve trained Our minds and hearts and words to be sincere? Think not we’ve missed the mirth and fun of just The tilings you now so heartily enjoy Rare pranks we’ve played—confess we must And yet they’re mem’ries rich without alloy. But there are other things we have acquired; Things scarcely dreamed of in the world without: ':«»uId I but tell them you as I’ve desired So oft. perhaps you’d wonder, even doubt. One thing, we’ve friendships made—some will endure. True friends are but the breastplate of our strength. They stand as steel against the wicked lure Of tempting littlenesses, false intent. They’ve taught 11s how in love’s unselfish realm There comes a power through willing sacrifice; One gives and lakes when friendship’s at the helm. For loving hearts will trust whate’er’s amiss. You sigh and whisper to your inmost self: ‘•They’ve climbed the mountain of their heart’s desire Would I were there—not here on this low shelf, So near the valley floor, but higher, higher. “Some weaker ones found this hard climbing dreary: They firmly tho’t you’d blaze for them a trail. But finding none, they fell all faint and weary Must I too fall and thus purpose fail?” I’m sending down this message glad to you You’ll hear it echoing all the valley round: You’re wrong, you’re wrong, cheer up. see things anew; The mountains smile and call, they’ve never frowned. Can you not see. from where you are down there. The roseate hue that veils the mountain site. And softens that cold sterness into rare Enticing shades of lovely purple light? You see it?—Well, then pause, behold and listen; Scan the world about you. see the beams Play o’er the branches, how they gleam and glisten. And the aspens whisper hope, it seems. And now you see the lights and shadows mingle Sweeping all the lower valley land. You are above. It makes your red blood tingle. When you know the height on which you stand. All around is happy glad rejoicing: You are climbing: sharpest stones are past: Hear the songs the birds in joy are voicing Bringing cheer. You must resume your task. And presently you’ll stand here just as we Are standing now and looking outward o’er A broadened vista, far as man can see: You’ll gaze and dream—like us you’ll long for more. If greater heights than this can be attained. Why not go on. but as you climb just give Your thanks for light and love and all you’ve gained And shout aloud: 1 live. I live. I live.
