The dogwood petals in the breezes whirled, When unexpected gust from fragrant winds So swiftly tore them from their leafy boughs. Near by, beside a bank of mossy green, A merry, little brooklet danced and sang; On either side there grew so many flow’rs That one would think two rainbows bound the stream— This peaceful place is where the dogwood sprang. Dorothy Hutto, ’22.
