DR. ISA K. ZIMMERMAN Assistant Principal TO A YOUNG CHILD. Margaret, are you grieving Over Goldengrove unleaving? Leaves like the things of man, you With your fresh thoughts care for, can you? Ah! as the heart grows older It will come to such sights colder By and by, nor spare a sigh Through worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie; And yet you will weep and know why. Now no matter, child, the name: Sdrrow’s springs 6re the same. Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed What heart heard of, ghost guessed: It is the blight man was born for, It is Margaret you mourn for. GERAD MANLEY HOPKINS ERNEST G. SPENCE Assistant Principal HIGH FLIGHT. Oh, I have slipped the surly bands of earth, And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings Sunward I’ve climbed and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds—and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I’ve chased the shouting wind along and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long delirious, burning burning blue I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace, Where never lark, or even eagle, flew: And, while with silent, lifting mind I ' ve trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God. JOHN GILLESPIE MAGEE, JR.
