THE PELHAM PNYX TO A ROSE By Mable Fletcher Oh, lovely Rose! Thou art indeed most fair Of all the lovely, fragrant flow'rs that bless This weary world, and bring great happiness Unto we mortal nten. A perfume rare Thou hast, a subtle scent, which fills the air With pleasing fragrance sweet. The loveliness Of thy soft velvet petals l now press Unto my heart and breathe a fervent pray'r: Dear Father, grant that this sweet-scented flow'r, May teach unto Thy people here below A needful lesson. Through each earthly hour May we o'ercoxre each piercing thornfeach woe! For only when we conquer pain and strife Do we reveal the beauty of this life. A FORGOTTEN RIVER Hy Harold I-lodgkins It nestles in a foreign land A land that holds no name, Though girt with forest or with sand lt travels on the same. lt narrows through some stoney pass With mountains glowing down, Or winds about through flowing grass l-lemnied in by natures gown. Dark clouds may wander in the sky Above its sparkling waves, It cares not for it hurries byg Yes! one of Ocean's slaves. lt runs through wild untravelled land, It travels on the same Where girt with forest or with sand It gces without a name. THE OLD LEAVES By l-larold Hodgkins l can see the old leaves falling down Falling down on the cold clamp ground They, only left to lie and rot Their beauty soon will be forgot. Beneath the winte1 s frozefi snow. QWhy is it they are treated SOPD The time has not slipped far away When in the trees we saw them play, Their wondrous colours caught our eye Fluttering and waving in the sky And now they tumble back to earth Back to the place cf their early birth.

THE PELI-IAM PNYX DREAMING Qv Harold l-lodgkins Far up beyond the ridge He sees the raven fly, The pheasant in some hillside haunt The bee upon some honeyed iaunt, A lark against the sky. And there beside the crystal stream, With rod in hand, he sits to dream. His contemplating eye Has lost its watchful force, The opportunity has slipped The greedy fish just now has flipped And there, far out, upon th: stream, The rod goes gliding with his dream IN COMMEMORATION OF THE ROYAL X lbl T By Nlyrtle XVall4er To-day as l sat listening Before our radio, There came to me, across the wires, The Queen's voice, soft and low. Although she made no effort, Her voice rang sweet and clear, For all the crowd in silence stood ' Their dear Queens voice to hear. At the trooping of new colours The sky was dull and gray, Yet to all those quietly watchful It was a glorious day. And to all the many people In homes or on the stand, 'Twas a ne'er forgotten happ'ning, The first one in the land. v
