18 THE GOLDEN-ROD BRINGING UP FATHER THE PRISONER’S SONG Father put the kettle on. Father light the fire. Father go and chop some wood. And fix on that new tire. For we are going shopping, And while we arc away, “Just keep the home-fire burning,” You've a lot to do today. The roof is needing some repairs, The rain is coming through. The chair that’s in the kitchen Is needing fixing too. And don’t forget to feed the dog, Canary, and the cat, And remember overfeeding them Will make them rather fat. Now father, we will need some cash, You know you’re getting mean. This dress and hat I’m wearing now Are not fit to be seen Polly needs some stockings, Some shoes, and winter coat. Father gave a groan and You surely get my goat.’ Now father all you’ve got Is pay up and look happy Cj And please don’t keep us waiting. Step on it. make it snappy. ‘They’re off at last thank heaven!” And father gives a groan, As he proceeds to feed the cat. And give the dog a bone. He looks dolefully out of the window. And the thoughts that he dreamily weaves. Are thoughts of the day when the term expires, And the day when he freely leaves. The bell on the wall rings loudly. And he rises from his seat. He labors long and vigorously. Till at noon he stops to eat. A scanty luncheon it is he eats. For he has to wait in line. And he’s just beginning when the time is up And while working he cannot dine. At dusk the prisoners leave their work. And stagger home in pairs. And they’re guarded though they stumble thus, By officers on the stairs. Such is the life of a prisoner -- The bell on the wall riffgs his knell. The prisoner's only a high school boy. The school is his prison cell. W. McCoxarty. F. '28 A SUMMER’S NIGHT Bobixa Purdox. F. ’28 THE FLIGHT OF THE ROBINS One morning in the early fall, I heard a robin briskly call His fellow robins, to convene, Their plans to lay, to leave the scene Of their past summer’s busy life, Of work or play, perhaps of strife. In droves they came to the tall tree. At his command peremptory. They chattered noisily a while, Then seemed to form in rank and file, Then all at once appeared to rise. Like a black cloud to mount the skies And soar away to pleasant lands. Ere winter comes with icy hands. 'Tis hard to describe the sunset. With its wonderful golden light: Or tell of the fleeting minutes. In the soft sweet summer nigl J As the sun in its blaze of splendo Sinks slowly beyond the hill. Reflecting its glorious beauty. In the pond behind the mill. C ? We all have seen such pictures. And its beauty none can deny. But give me the quiet beauty Of the summer's midnight sky. The twinkling stars in the heaven. The soft cool breeze, newly bom. Which rustles the leaves in the hilltop. And dies away with the dawn. We love the golden sunshine. And glory in its light: But real beauty comes in the silver Of the moon on a summer's night. . Blaxche Savage, Feb. ’29. M. MacBurxie. F. '27.
