To o Trellis Summer trellis, white and happy, Covered with the blooming rose, You display all loveliness That art and beauty can compose. Now in summer, friends surround you, Bees sip honey from the rose, And birds perch lightly on your bars Hunting shadows for repose. Time will come when you'll be pitied, Sorry will your aspect be, You will have no birds and roses, Soon from you will beauty Flee. Winter winds will whistle through you, People seeing you will frown, And your vines, now green and blooming, Soon will turn to withered brown. But, 0 trellis, do not fear it, Live in all your rightful joy, Hold your loved ones closer to you--- Memories winter can't destroy. -Gladys Chinn Memories of Gold I LOCKED UPON THE EARTH BELOW TO SEE A PATCH OF SUNLIT GOLD SWAYING SLIGHTLY T0 AND FRO- A LOVELY SPOT A PERFECT MOLD1' MOST ENTRANCING T0 BEHOLD: AND T0 ME IT DID UNFOLD MEMORIES OF THE YEARS UNTOLD.
