.tis flhe CPEABODY CLASS POEM Thomas Winans Out of the glowing shadows came a thought Of all the things that God's children have wrought Under the candle and beside the fire,- The singing wind, like the voice of a lyre, Breathed out a prophesy in alien tongue Not wholly clear to one so young- In came Slumber with dainty cobweb gown'd And the star-dust trailed at her feet around. She carried a mloonbeam of misty light-- The candle died out as she kiss'd me goodnight. All night we sat in a silence sw'eet, Weaving garlands to lay at VVisdom,'s feet. I thought all was plain when the Dawn came in, The prize of my hopes which I sought to wing But my hopes were crushed, I wlas aware Never-never could I find it there. So night after night my counselor came And whispered sweetly a wond'rous name- The quest-the quest-go and seekg ye shall find. Shoulder to shoulder with all mankind In labour and toil and grime and strife On the golden quest ye shall find life. Finally I arose refreshed and bade her farewellg My fear long cherished she'd been able to quell. My heart beat fast that morn when off I went For on a Golden Quest I had been sent. Six solemn souls in all by the way I did see And each a marvelous tale related to me. And each knew the road that was best to take VVhen Youth fairs forth, high spirited and confident On the Golden Quest, his fortune to stake On some fond and holy love that's permanent. fs- is 4- The Minister: The mender of souls in every creed Has always stooped and lifted gently up the parts Of broken lives, and fashioned in their need Lasting lives of purityg inspired hopeful hearts. That is the joyful task of the menderg The Quest for me is Service to render. uf we at The Farmer: The thousand eyes of night were open wide VVhen from my couch I rose to struggle with the soi Motherbliarth and I together shall abide ,, si' -'zine -rits w- --mama 'iff wfriirf- if-of W
