The While Birch Log. O human-looking thing, I cannot bear To watch the flames about you there! It makes me think of Joan of Arc To hear the sighs go through your bark, As light and smoke and heat consume Beauty not meant to warm a room. Let walnut, hickory and oak Turn into heat and light and smoke. But never let the fairy tree Again be burned, witchlike, for me. HERMAN ADDERLEY.

Pools of homely lamplight To circle loved ones in, Four walls for peace and safety — But oh! the walls are thin. Close on the other side of them The tinder piles up high; Bullets start their clattering, Shadows fill the sky. They could be stopped. But a woman, Like a savage mumbling charms, Says, Let us hope , and gathers Her sons into her arms. HERMAN ADDERLEY. The Sinking Ship. The ship is going under. As the water in doth seep. The ship is going under, Down deep, deep, deep. The ship is going under. The men are all affright. Oh, look at them ! Oh, look at them ! In their fearful plight. And some are diving overboard, Yet not prepared to meet. The dangers that do dwell therein — The shark might want to eat. Now listen to their horrid screams, Beyond all human thought. They cry for help, they cry for help. But oh! they cry for naught. The ship is almost under. As the water in doth seep. Look, as it caves beneath the waves, Down deep, deep, deep! 17
