THE NORTHLAND ECHO 31 T0 A PUZZLE Bxsrriz DESJARDINS, IIIC jig-Saw puzzle, What right have you To hold my interest The way you do? VVhy do you lie On the table there And will me to sit In the opposite chair? Why do my fingers Toy with your parts Till my eyes grow weak And a headache starts? Why do I follow Your notches and curves Like a lover who hangs On his sweetheart's words? VVhy have you cast Your spell on me? Iill conquer you yet, Old Mystery! TINY TALL'S FATE ALICE MooN Once there lived a little man, Who was but eight feet tall, His blonde straight hair was curly black: His black eyes green as gall. When Tiny Tall, for t'was his name, Wanted or wished a thing And used his lungs to call aloud His weak voice made ear drums ring. One day our hero took a walk, While riding in a flying car, His beautiful hair blew round the wheels: Car's stopping jerk threw Tiny afar. He landed on a distant star. ,Way underneath the dry, dry sea, Where meeting a lovely mermaid fair, Married and lived, so happily. THE WORLD I LOVE I love this world when skies are blue, And when the birds sing all day through, Beside a brook I love to stand And watch the sparkling, golden sand. The waters rushing on for aye Are never still the livelong day. White clouds high in the sky above Look down on peace, and war, and love. In city homes or meadows green The joys of living may be seen. MIRIAM PRESTON. LONGlNG Sometimes I think when night does fall, Of distant woods where cuckoos- call. Of leafy coverts, where partridge hide, And from the tree-tops squirrels chide. In fancy wooded hills I pass, Where soft winds rustle in the grass. And oftimes long for some calm lake, Upon whose brink the aspens shake. THE NORTH ERN BLIZZARD Who can vent its fury more Than a blizzard, of the north? Who is it, who strikes with power of Thor When brave men journey forth? Who whistles round their frozen ears? Who buries them in the snow? Who adds to their evergrowing fears VVhile cruel winds blow? Those brave men that break the trail, Those men that never tire Are caught in a maelstrom of snow and hail, Ruled by a force that's higher. But dauntlessly they journey onward, The sons of the north are they, All these men press forward, forward, 'Tis a dangerous game they play. Some are frozen in banks of white Some are starved on the field of fame, But though They're dead, they've shed the light, On a venturous life-giving game. By E. M. MCDONALD STREET DRESS LORRAINE STEVENSON She primped before the mirror And smiled in self-conceit. Nothing pleased her dearer Than to have her hair look neat. She smoothed her fine silk hose And aligned its narrow seam: Then, pertly, she studied her nose For remnants of make-up cream. She glanced with a critical eye At the slender heels of her shoes. They had cost her a lot to buy, But what had she to lose? Proud she was of her long slim hands With their crimson pointed tipsg Her rings were slim gold bands, Their stones like tiny pips. When she descended the stairs, Her mother gazed in distress. Despite all her gay vain airs, She had forgotten to don her dress!
