Yet all the way I still could hear Those soft low whispers very near. My heart beat wildly in my breast And filled me with a vague unrest. I asked myself in accents dread, Were these the voices of the dead? - Or fancies of a vagrant brain? Or just the murmur of the rain Pl' Then memory began to spin The pattern of each secret sin, Of promises that I had made, Of debts that I had not repaid. And all the way I still could hear Those soft low whispers very near. H clen H ostetlcr. Roundel God give us work, the men cry out today. VV ith hope we start out early in the morn, At night back home we shuffle with dismay. God give us work. W'e wonder why this burden must be borne! It will be lifted soon we hope and pray.

Elizabeth Levifin The Tramp I saw him pass along the road, A broken, spent, degraded soul, Plodding his weary way along To distant hills and fields and towns. I saw him pass across the hill, A bent and broken child of time, Betrayed by man and cast aside To force his way through life's thick mists. I., stood and wondered as I saw His form descend behind the hill Why God's own child should have to be A broken, spent, and helpless thing. Jean Hardy .1 Ami- -1 L X' L-1-1 tl-I! Y 1-1 nf ,F

171i ,, 2 17 f tv ri l k I Towers I stand and gaze into the sky At lofty buildings towering high. Their graceful spires in noon-day light Fade softly in the azure height. They seem to challenge me until I vow that I shall try my skill And some day build a tower that can O'er look all turrets raised by man.
