OAK LEAVES 1949 HAVE YOU EVER ? Have you ever, dreaming watched The sun set on still August eves, Or listened, as the whirling wind Howled through remaining autum leaves? Have you heard the falling rain Pounding on the shingled shed? Have you gazed, with startled eyes, At a gath'ring thunderhead? Have you ever tried to count The dancing, drifting flakes of snow? Have you seen the bending firs, Ice-covered brook, and white hedge-row? Have you felt the summer breeze Softly touching golden hair? Have you smelled the warm, damp earth In spring, the flowers everywhere? Have you ever tasted honey In a pale-pink clover bloom? Have you ever trailed a brook To waterfall, or roaring flume? And have you ever glimpsed in awe A prancing fawn or cautious doe, A cotton-tail with twitching ears, Or sly red fox against new snow? At least, I hope, a few of these You've felt, or smelled, or seen, or heard, For God, in his munificence Spread beauty through-out all the world. MIMI LOGAN 49 29
