Priz o Poem --1--..,,il DECIMBER It is easy to write about June-time When the rosos are Llooming so sweet, ind the diisies and violets and pansies fre growing about your footy When the Truss is so roen in the meadows Q to H J ina everything's happy and gay, But itls hu der to Write of December When the skies sro so cloudy and gray. And out in the bleak winter woodlands The troes are so gaunt and so bare, Whore once Wore the green leafy bowers ind birds singing everywboreg And now there is a cold stillness Only broken by Boreas' call, ind here and there the wee footprints I To show there is life there at all. Yet the flowers 'neath the snow are just sleeping ind trees ire just taking Q nap, The buds will again burst in beauty, ind the trees will bo filling with sap. Ndsure must take time for rosting, For too much of sweetness Wiould eloy So while we are longing for springtime Let us our winter waiting enjoy. For December too has her beauty, Of ber winter joys let us sing. There is even n beautiful poem In the flash of s csrdinal's wing. In the pictures by snow-fairieb painted, In the chirp of the cbioadoo-deeg You may like your perpetual June-time, But I'll take some December for mo. 0 Marjorie Bibler.
