lun zu ,, Sparkling Wine I drank of sparkling wine salubrious To warm the cockles of the Muse's heart. She gladly sat with me to ply her art With songs both merry and lugubrious. Next day I tried to write down every line But could I think of all, or even part? Come, Muse, another glass of sparkling wine! RUTH M. ZIEGLER But Probably Not Someday soon, when shells are screaming overhead, On some German battlefield perhaps I'll meet a Prussian boy. And we'll stop and talk of Wagner's Lohengrin Or Siegfried's journey to the Rhine. He'll say how the best thing from America is Donald Duck. I'll mention that I've just read Goethe and Schiller, And that I like the German girls. We'll become great friends, and But probably not. We'll both just open fire, Never having said a word. Skyline PAUL BENYE1 The Critic Away from Htfull winds, A pigeon lands upon the sill. With skeptic, beady eye, It struts and pecks with skill.

In your escape from custom, have you found A medium more eloquent than sound? What beauty can you give the untamed word To make man nobler for having heard? You may contend that these are troubled times, That battle-hardened men will scoff at rhymes, , A .l. , -, And that a world hard pressed to right its wrongs Has little time for beauty or for songs. Yet warriors deafened by the guns of hell Will weep to hear a distant chapel bell. A man can not so dull his spirit's need That one may offer him a stone to read. His longing for the beautiful and good Your silver tongue could answer, if it would. 6933-583 O Ruth Thurman 1 ..
