Kimloip Oh, the heart of me goes roaming To a land across the sea, And visions of an Emerald Isle Come drifting back to me. My fancy sees her placid lakes Reflecting sunlit hills, Her smiling vales, and purple peaks, And silver mountain rills. I hear the song of the wee brown thrush, And the blackbird's answering call, The thrill of the lark in the morning sky, And the tumbling water-fall. I feel the grasp of a friendly hand, And I hear the kindly word, By the lilt of a song as it rolls along My Gaelic soul is stirred. But why does a sadness steal o'er me, And the vision grow dim with my tears? For ne'er have I seen this land o' my dreams, Tho' my heart's been her captive for years. 'Tis the strong voice of kindred gives answer It calls from afar o'er the sea, And so I set sail in my dream ship And bring Erin's visions to me. Mary Horgan, ,L7 The ejlfl.6ZJ'l'67 ,J' CAIN Down the street came the man who sings From door to door a-mending things, And knowing how much he could do for me- Comc here, I said to him ho efullyg And then in his outstretched handjl wistfully laid A heart with a break I had newly made. He touched it reverently then handed it back. To mend this, my lass, is a power I lackg For , said he, 'tis a Master's art To mend a break in a human heart. Helen Winters, '17 35

Lightly he skipped before me All in the twilight grey, And I, I followed after To hear how he did play. Through the dusky wood, Along the dusky road For many a mile he played his tune And I behind him strode. Then suddenly he vanished Quicker than I can say- All in the fall of the year, All in the twilight grey. Long years ago I lost him, Nor ever again have seen His skipping step, his yellow shoon, His coat of bottle-green. Long years ago I lost him, And yet beneath the moon I sometimes seem to hear his pipe Playing a lonely tune. Wriftciz for the Seniors of Cedar Grove Academy Cincinnati, Ohio, April, I927. 34

51' be Clariftmzzs Sale Listen, dear readers, and you shall hear Of the Christmas sale of our Senior year. Our stately old hall looked bright and gay And portrayed our skill in its very best way. Helen and Verna and Mary Louise Artistically trimmed our Christmas trees. Julia and Mary hung mistletoe With bright green holly and many a bow. The booths were brightwith a silvery sheen, The finest booths we ever had seen. Each class had oceans of work to do And the busy hours just fairly flew. Catherine Herbers and Grace sold chances to all, Anna Marie and Helen the lotto did call. While Camille, and Vera, and Flora, and I, Sold edible dainties at prices quite high. Mary Horgan and Catherine helped entertain And did it so well that not a guest did complain. Our Freshies retailed the cake and ice cream, And the Sophs sold their sweets by the ton, it would seem. The Juniors had novelties arranged with great care, With their linens and laces none could compare. We Seniors had fruits, and jellies, and cake, And pies of the kind his mother would make. Altogether it was a ver successful affair, Thanks to the efforts ofy everyone there. And results now prove that we've won in the race Though brave twenty-six had set us a glorious pace.
