The Autumn World The trees are all ablaze with golden gloryg Some are tinted with a crimson hue. The leaves contrast the vast sky up above them. Which spreads on high, a dome of vivid blue. Small squirrels soamper in the lofty tree-tops, As they go about their work and play. They scurry here and scramble there together, Storing food for many a wintry day. Wild geese are flying southward for the winter: Flying past the mountain range so high. The crazy peaks watch o'er the land in silence, unchanging as the sands of time drift by. Some hunter's horn rings out from coloured forest. Swift hounds have caught the scent of some wild The pounding hoofs of faithful hunting horses Beat rhythmic sounds to every listening ear. What thrills the human soul as much in Nature As autumn's fair enchantment o'er the lend? The sky, the birds, the forests, and the mountains, All fashioned by the Great Creator's hand. Byz- walter Morris XA First in Lower School Poetry A Winter's Night The snow fell S0ff1Y Bhd Quietly Covering the naked earth with a'blanket Of snowy down, soft as an angel B Win83 And as quiet as an angel'S SODS- Each tiny flake was carved and shaped With masterly perfection to each tiny And as they fell, the mO0n Game out line. Lighting the night to a radiant glow, It made the snow sparkle and prance Like diamonds on a brilliant rainbow. The world was lovely that night. And one could not help deer L tti his heart dance with unbounded joy! This Sis the night to leave one's troubles behind And dream of wonderful things to come. So when you see the snow begin to fall, Go for a dreamy walk on a winter's night, For And The The you'l1 forget your idle wants and wishes begin to appreciate and admire beautiful and most wonderful thing of al world on a winter's night.
