20 SAMARA THE LADY OF THE LAMP Through the misty night she comes as ever, Carrying her glowing lamp, that faileth never, And like an angel she passes by. Out of the barracks into the moonlit or cloudy sky, Mystic, beautiful as she is kind, Healing the wounded, and making happy the blind. Each kisses her shadow as it lightly disappears. And all remember through the passing years, ' ' The Lady Of The Lamp. ' ' — SUZETTE BOURINOT. THE STREAM The stream goes running by our house, To turn the water wheel, And talking quickly as it goes, To help us make our meal. It sparkles brightly as it flows, To join the calmest lake. And never takes a little nap, In case it would be late. — Jane Edwards, age 13. ON THE ROCKS OF CAPE ELIZABETH On the rocks of Cape Elizabeth On a cool and star-lit night. The moon looks down upon us As we look up to its light. We look far out upon the waves When roaring they come to their rocky caves, The sea-gulls fly up in the sky As the sailing yachts go skimming by. The life-buoy makes its moaning roar As the greeny foam breaks on the shore. The light house flashes over the wavy sea A s the cold sea breeze howls nois ily. Sarah E. Wallace, age 13
