THE PIONEER Reviviscency I sought for death in cool, green woods: Nor knew that life was there. Invisible and fair. I wove a shadow for a shroud: The sun fell across my loom. To thread with gold my gloom. I thought to find a silent place: A brooklet laughed at me, A bird sang, and a tree. I sought for death, but could not die: The woods were all too fair — I’d found that life was there. My Love My lo e is a giant — A gcd— V ' ho crushes me to him Until my soul is vibrant wiih hU soul. And my bruised heart drips red agony; Then he hurls me ai his feet — Unnerved, and trembling. And afraid to speak. Verse A If I knew where this shy path would lead. Saw along its way each flower and weed, Sluggard slone, and rain-washed, smiling tree. Heard each brook-song haunted, bird note free. Felt the tug of thorn, the damp of fen. And the lure of hills where I’ve ne’er been; Eagerly seeking for a new. If I knew each little thing That my life to me will bring, I would welcome death’s sure sling. Ruby Susan Sawyer (Ex-classmate) Le3t in some rash cry slips Hard silence seal my lips! Let passion quit me now, Thick shadows veil my eyes! Let love begone or hide What in my torn heart lies. A name my heart would hold. And thou, O memory, sleep! Ruby Susan Sawyer (Ex-classmate) Page Iwenly-f 0
