IO TI-IE QUILL RAIN LULLABY In my study room I listen To a lullaby of rain, Watch the tiny droplets glisten As they tumble down the pane. I cannot seem to fix my eyes Or mind upon my bookg Its dull facts cannot sympathize With weeping clouds. How gray look! I glimpse them through the leaves Of three huge trees without, The wind a moving pattern weaves Of boughs and tosses them about. And still the silver teardrops fallg , They seem to beat into my brain, Benumbing it until I cannot think at all- Can only listen to the falling rain. The rhythm, so monotonous and slow, Has linked itself with ticking of the clock Both seem to whisper secrets very low: l Tinkle, tinkle, Tick, tock, tick, tock,' they Now clock, now rain, now rain, now clock Tinkle, tinkle, Tick, tock, tick, tock.' Hear the ever endless beating - At this rate, I'll soon be sleeping. -Thelma Gillespie, '38 I Zin Qmentnrg nf I Zlirancia Elirnezi igffeszarh I fjanufxrg 30, 1515 mag 5, was

THE QUILL 9 walking toward home just as unconcerned as he could be. He grew so plump, just before it was time to put him in for the winter, that we did not dare to make him run very much, but one day we had guests, and they got him chas- ing them all over the farm. The next morn- ing when my father went to the barn, Bilikins was dead. We all were sorry we had played so hard with him the day be- fore, because we felt we were the cause of his death. - Grace Williams, '37 TWILIGHT I was sitting by my window One warm evening just at dusk. The hovering shadows were creeping near, All tired birds had hushed. The flowers drooped their drowsy heads. Their petals all closed up. A butterfly was lingering near Perched on a butter-cup. The sky took on a lovely hue 'Twas white, and pink, and blue, It looked as if an artist's hand Had painted it a-new. We wonder how God made the world, His numerous gifts bestowed, But this we know, His loving gifts Help us to bear life's load. - Mary McCollett, '36 SPRING TRAGEDY I Bring the step ladder and bring the pail, Take down the pictures from the railg Take up each rug and carpet, Clean all the over-stuffed chairs. Then go and clean the attic - And scrub the cellar stairs. II Bring the soap and make some sudsg Wash the windows and curtain dudsg Tie a towel about your headg Take the clothes all off the bed, Beat the mattress spic and span - Find some more dust if you can. III All the family's in a stew, For mother finds so much to do: Now, johnny, beat that parlor rug. Now, dad, you must the ashes lug From out that dirty heater. I want my cellar to look nearer. Even the dog runs and hangs his tail Whenever mother comes with the cleaning pail. IV At night we all are nearly dead, Tired and cross and ready for bed -- But just as sure as Spring comes round, House-cleaning time is always found. - Mercedes Follansbee, '38
