CXASS POEM cross the meadows and down by the rippling brook A train of brilliance greets the eye on the way— There are twittering birds to make the world feel gay; On sheltered banks are dreamy flowers that have partook, Of nectar that fairies in their flight have forsook. Nature’s displaying her multi colors with pride— In the serene beauty of blue and white heavens, In yellow meadow lily, nodding as warden Over the tall grass that in the breezes doth ride; Flashes of color where meadow songsters glide. Then ahead the merry brook humming a low song As it goes dash and splash over tiny pebbles, Sings of dreamy futures and leaves out all troubles; Its tune teases and repeats, “Come Along, Along”— Ah! We cannot wait — The gods refuse us to linger long. By Helen Mae Diamond in fflemortam Grace Decker Marvel Hawthorne [13]
