THE BEACON 111 By the side if the bright-lighted gas. Oh, the books, books, books. Oh, the desks and big old hooks In the schoolroom! How the youngsters write and talk On the board with horrid chalk And waste a little time till noon. Yet the children fully know, They must fulfill the plans, And also the demands, Of the parents who make them go. They must study, study, study When they want to run, And study, study, study, for they’ve just begun. Oh, study from the books, books, books, Books! books, books, books; You must worry, but not hurry through the Books! “THE CLOUD” A cloud I saw all robed in white, Banked up, and pure as drifts of snow, All bordered round with silvery light — And idly it moved along and slow. The sun’s bright glare then faded away, And slowly the burning embers of day Reluctantly gave place to those That shed the delicate tints of rose. I went to rest to dream and hope That in the morning when I woke I’d see the cloud. Alas! Dismay! The wind had driven it away. So opportunities glide past, But, like the cloud, one’s not the last. NELSON C. OVERTON, ’10.

THE BOOKS (With Apologies to Poe) (Eatonia Dandridge, 1904) See the children with the books Lesson Books! So much work for weary scholars The future outlooks! How they study, study, study In the early hours of night While the girls are having fun — Yet our trouble’s just begun — Yet they go on with their delight, Making fuss, fuss, fuss, Everything a perfect muss, And we sit and study, study in the dark and dreary nooks, From the books, books, books, books, Books, books, books, O, the buying and the eyeing of the books. See the great Geometry books — And Botany books! What a lot of learning from their Pages look! In the troubled eye of child, While they run and romp as wild, Too much excited to speak, They can only shriek, shriek — As they hurriedly pass, For a kind kind consideration for their tenderness of age And a begging from their father, that dreaded sage, As he turns page, page, And his great increasing rage With his resolute endeavor — You shall sit now or never
