THE NINETEEN THIRTY-SIX RETRO Page Ninth Grade Poems MY GARDEN Won't you come into my garden In my garden's center Where the purple violets lie? You'll see a pond so clear I promise I won't treat you With water lilies viewing As the spider did the Hy. Their faces with no fear. For in my stone-walled garden Grouped in whispering clusters Of Howers of many hue, The larkspur say, How tall You'll find peace and quiet Are the waving hollyhocks Beneath the sky of blue. Against our garden wall! I'll take you through my garden I hope you like this picture So acquainted you may be I've painted just for you. With nature's wonder flowers I again invite you That bring such joys to me. To my Garden 'neath the blue. IVIAXINE NICKEL.L QI:irst prize poem, Ninth Grade Garden Club Contest.j THE AUTUMN TREE Aloof, it stands near the city street Its lofty branches seem to meet With the fleckless blue of the autumn sky, Giving cheer to the heart of the passer-by. The autumn tree. It bears a glorious flaming crown, To beautify the branches brown. People outing in the tangy air, See the tree in its spendor, standing there. A smile appears upon their face, And they set their walk at a brisker pace, It seems to me. Now soon the leaves must flutter down To earth, to die and turn dark brown, But we'll be waiting patiently, Next fall, this picturesque tree to see. Yes, you and me. MARY MARGARET STEVENSON
