THE CHIMES 23 in at the side; and there, half hidden by last year ' s leaves is a tiny pale pink bud, the snow dro]x Having picked a few of these, we walk on a little farther, entranced l)y the stillness of the woods. A cow is lowing softly in the dis- tance, a bell tinkles in another direction, a chickadee in his very best alto voice calls out to his mate. And so, for hours we could ramble together, through brier and bush, past field and brook, never once turning, walking hand in hand with Mother Nature. THE CALL OF THE SEA Ruth Spear, ' 33 I hear the waves so wild and free; The breakers on the rocks I see; The fights, to guide the sailors, flash; I see the gulls go flying past. I feel the damp wet breath of spray On my cheek, at break of day, I see the sun rise o ' er the l)lue, All pink and gold, as artists ' hue. I see some wreckage from the deep. On the sand, the footprints of the peep; I see a fish leap from the sea, And then return to his life so free. Oh, to live on the ocean bleak. To feel spray always on my cheek, To wake at dawn, the sun to see. It ' s in my blood, the call of the sea. The brain is a wonderful organ. It begins to work as soon as we wake up and never stops till we get to school.

22 THE CHIMES RAMBLE WITH ME Harriet Poland, ' 34 Rani1)le with me along the little village street where flowers and blossoms are gaily waving to and fro. Above us the cool wand is blowing very gently throug h the trees whose leaf buds are fresh and green. Let us stop and ad- mire this simple little cottage by the side of the road. It is soft yellow in color, with green trimmings blending with the various plant life and shubbery surrounding it. A row of birches bend gracefully over the street, hiding the little house from our view. At one side is a neat little vegetable garden where someone is kneeling in the soft earth, caring for the seedlings. We find a homey and cozy atmosphere pervading it, and feel as though we should be welcome there at any time. A little farther along we stop and gaze at the peaceful little pond below us. The deep blue of the sky lends a still deeper blue to the water. Someone is can- oeing silently along its banks, gathering water lilies. A kingfisher, having just arrived, attracts our attention as he rattles to tell the whole world that this is Jiis pond. Now, ramble with me up the little lane to the old farm- house. Near by is a meadow, where a group of children are playing. There is a large barn at one side where va- rious farming implements can be seen. A garden, off at a little distance, is spotted with men who work from morning till night. The farmhouse itself needs a coat of paint and numerous repairs. It has an air of marked simplicity — a typical farmhouse. Raml)le with me along a cart path in the woods sur- rounding this old house. On either side of us we find a little brook babbling merrily over the pebbles. Let us stop and listen to it for a moment. It seems to say, Come along! Come along! ' ' Indeed, we wish we could, but we are lured on by the twisting and twirling path ahead of us. Each corner brings some new surprise. But stop. Down in that little shaded nook is a bunny, nil bling the tender young plants. We try to approach him stealthily. He seems rather friendly, Init whenever we get about six feet from him, with a flip of his stubby tail, he hops into the bushes. Curious to explore the woods around us, we peep
