To New Hei lits by Frances Bailey We who g,racluate are fledgelings Who now rniist learn to fly alone. The nest, oar school, toe mwst forsake For worlds in which we’ve never flown, And yet our hearts are gay. A bit afraid but eager still We throw our bodies to the .sky. But those whose upward gazes fail Fall to the ground and never fly. And yet our hearts are gay. He hath said each sparrows fall He knows, and aren’t we more than they? And so He’ll guide us as we fly Through trials and joys of each new day. And .so our hearts are gay. ■ 9 ’
