Z Husings By STANLEY BOYER Some of the many things I like are. Train whistles blowing in the night. The sound of soft organ music, and the light. Sweet, yet melancholy strains of a violin. The sighing of a soft south wind Blowing in the boughs of a fir tree. The wild, harsh cry of geese. Flying in the stillness of the early morning; The sound of a heavy freight pulling up a grade Which, when it goes behind a building fades. And then comes back in redoubled clamor. The dripping of rain from moss-clad eaves. The cushioned crunch of fall leaves under foot; Bright stars, twinkling in the deep vault of the sky. Glimpsed through the tossing boughs of a cedar tree. The light of a full moon on a snow-capped landscape,- The rushing sing of snow under your skis,- The whisper of running water under ice; The quick snap of ice under a pair of skates,- The sweet, wild sounds of far-distant flute notes. And the measured beat of a grandfather's clock. When you are half asleep. The above poem, written by Stanley Boyer, Class of 1943, and now in the service of our country, received honorable mention in the National Anthology of High School Verse, last year.
