THE REFLECTOR CLIFTON H GH SCHOOL FEBRUARY 1928 MORNING LIFE I gazed into the sky at morn When life holds nothing Its splendors spread for me Skies are gray With fleecy cloudlets floating ’round Seems naught but sorrow As waves upon a sea. Comes your way The sky was such a color bright You spend your time, you That artists love to paint Idly fret It looked to me so heavenly Upon the hard luck Without a speck or taint. That you get. The morning sun had risen high But should you pause and With golden beams so bright Think awhile It seemed to me that I on earth You’ll And your life is Would shout from pure delight Worth the trial. The robins sang in treetops high. So play your game and With joy their morning song Try to win A body who was very sad Now set your teeth and Could not be sad for long. Wear a grin. For it was morning down on earth See now you’ve started With dew o’er all the grass In anew That morning sent a happy thought Just watch those gray skies To me a carefree lass. Turn to blue. Mary Petrusha, June '28. M. Levine, June ’28. LIGHTS I love the silent countryside When shades of evening fall And high upon the green hillside I hear the night bird call. A million stars awake from sleep There are some things which are worth any cost; but above them all I value consciousness They dot the summer skv. Over the trees the moon doth creep of manly life; and the arts form a part of this In silence passes by. at least. —William Morris From some old farmhouse on the hill A candle throws its beam The humble night is dark and still, While I sit here and dream. Evelyn Erler, June ’28. PAGE TWENTY-FOUR
