Are you a messenger, beautiful, bright, Fortelling sunshiny, beautiful weather? Are you the bridge that spans the gulf Between this earth and heaven? Are you the bridge of the fairy folk Who work a magic leaven? Each time you come does a tired soul Go from this world away And. carried on thy shimmering arch. Speed happily away? Are you the bridge for pilgrims true To mount to eternal rest? Are you the one that leads the way To the Islands of the Blest? What are you rainbow, tell me. pray, Whose beautiful arch 1 saw today?

WHIP-POOR-WILL I wonder if you’ve ever heard The plaintive calling of a bird That’s called by some the Whip-poor-will”. It sings at eve when all is still. Its voice rings over wood and fen; It suddenly ceases. Then comes again. It stops for a moment. Its tired throat fills, Then, vigor renewed, tries more Whip-poor-wills.” Sometimes when baby whip-poor-will Won't go to bed in the night so still. His daddy’s song comes forth more shrilly This time he sings out Whip-poor-willie.” Margaret Morris. DREAMING Virginia Peck, J. '28 Do you love to dream? Well so do I. So let’s just sit while the hours roll by. Of what shall we dream when before us lie The brook, and the meadow, and the dark blue sky. Can you sec in that cloud a stage-coach old. Drawn by snow-white horses with reins of gold? Look, there in the field are children at play. How glad I am it’s the month of May. But come, we must back to our books and pens: We cannot always wander in the fields and glens.
