f-The Oaks CLASS POEM I 'Twas in a garden, - the garden of God, 'Twas all ethereal, gleaming, white, The lilies. pale, a glorious sight. Ever anon their heads would nod. As if in deep content, they grew, The plan of God was theirs to pursue. II Then through that garden Pleasure came. His raiinents were of rainbow hue, And, stopping to tease a scornful few, He offered garments. none the same- Such jolly garments, gay and glad -- Direct from the Land of Pleasure Mad. III The lilies pure? Some, once sedate, lnto the Hills of joy were led, The faithful wept and, filled with dread, Were afraid for their erring sisters' fate. Came God into his garden shorn And from his tears new Howers were born. IV The lilies. led by Pleasure gay, VVent ever on and on to Shame, 'Til their joyous garments, frayed became And lost was each dazzling color-ray. Their heads drooped low under Pleasure's jeers 'Til finally they reached the Vale of Tears. V Then Pleasure, mocking, left them there To seek other souls who cannot bear To hear the Ternpterls carefree dare, But leave behind all trifling care To search without the Garden of God For glories, lost, for love, betrod. VI And thus are we now forced to choose Which road in Life we wish to take. We must not err, no wrong choice make, Our dauntless courage must not lose. We'll let not Pleasure be our guide, But walk in Light with buoyant stride. Amanda Liefer
