OAK LEAVES 1949 EVENING RIDE I love to ride in the evening On my dappled mare of gray, Letting the wind run wild through my hair, Lending myself to her sway. I always ride in the orchard, It's so quiet when day is done. And I dream the dreams that were kept all day For this ride with the setting sun. SHEANA WOHLFORD, '49. FOR THE MOMENT How sweet to listen to the whispers and the echoes of the forest! Myriad murmurs of melodious woodland harps in harmony All follow ceaselessly the thunder of the rushing, pounding water, Which, cascading down the mountain, lends its volume to the music, And by rhythmic splash and fall conducts the sylvan symphony. How sweet to walk along the beach in that still hour after sunset, When the fiery red and gold have ceased to tint the quiet sky, When looking far off to the pastel -shades that feather the horizon, A strange sadness makes me quiver while a soft, caressing zephyr Brings from distant, unknown shores the song of lovely Lorelei. O Life! To breath free and exultant on the ruthless, cragged summit, The tantalizing, fragrant air of rosemary and pine! To be a goddess for the moment, in that spaciousness rejoicing! Here lies Power for philosopher-musician, painter, poet- And in each of these I find myself, but power-all is Thine! PHYLLIS TAMPLIN, '51 SUMMER ROMANCE I heaped up leaves enough to make A fire of all that fell today, And stood there, leaning on my rake To watch the summer burn away. The days curled upward, thick and blue And glided 05 between the trees. I saw my every thought of you Drift upward, carried by the breeze. SHIRLEY BROWN, '49, 17
