THE ECHO My Brean First Prize Porm By Buth Connor Tired of the city’s noise and strife, T wandered to the forest deep For rest, and in sweet seclusion I lay me down in silent sleep. But soon an ancient man drew near, A man with age and sorrow bent His tottering legs searee held him up, His brow with wrinkled care was rent. Upon his arm, his violin, Perhaps his one and dearest treasure, Was carried, and with fingers worn and thin He held it to his shoulder. With silent reverence, near profound, He drew the bow across the strings, It gave a wondrous, glorious sound, A sound too sweet for earth it seemed. He played a sweet and solemn air, And as he played he seemed to change, There showed a joyous radiance there Upon the wrinkled, eareworn brow. The blissful sounds rose to the sky, The birds their happy singing ceased, The trees all feared to sway their boughs, The volume of the sounds increased. T’was loud, then soft, but never harsh, This rapturous music, unknown to me But lo! it ceased, and o’er the distant marsh The vision quickly vanished from my sight. I look around to see the man, This gray haired master who had brought In my heart a new found bliss, And had a beauteous mystery wrought. But nowhere could I see him Although I searched the forest dim. I wandered on my weary road— Somehow, life seemd a lessened load.
