l .., A . , i f'PHrw,i.A v GA!-tON'A The River By FREDA THOMPSON There's a river winds through an old Scotch town, A river with many a bend, A river of many a lilting splash Of hasty turns and sudden dash, A river of eddies where currents clash, E'er it reaches its j ourney's end. And oft on a. summer's afternoon, You will see a fisher boy, As he casts his line in the quiet flow, Where friendly willows lean so low, Where cat-tails, flags, and rushes grow, And fishing is a joy. Great heaps of stone on its banks so high Are placed with loving care, Fine schools and churches stand serene, Like sentinels at their posts are seen, In winter's white or springtime-'s green, O'er the river valley fair. And home folks round that old Scotch town, In the midst of a fertile land, See the river winding calm and free, By j utting rock and willow tree, And they hear it call to its friend, the sea, And they tell you, That's the Grand I FEE Day Dreams By GEORGE MOSS Nothing I like so well as these, A slash of green through woodland trees. A glimpse of sky between the leaves, A glint of sun on buckwheat sheaves. A muddy field of dappled brown, Sunlit roofs in a smoky town. A limestone shelf at the water's edge, A warbler's nest in an English hedge. The breeze ribbed surface of water still, The que-rulous call of the whip-poor-will. A billowy cloud in a sky serene, A swinging bird in the azure clean. A city street or a country lane, In glory of sun or ripple of rain. Nothing I like so well as these, An earthly heaven, a heavenly frieze. 40
