THE MARSH I sit on its shores in the summer time beneath the light blue sky And watch the wind blown ripples shlne and go racing daintly by Overhead each pine tree, laden with cones so brown, Breathes of a scented perfume and is dressed in a emerald gown The graceful swallows in the sky soar, and sing, and dive Their song of freedom fills your heart, and you're glad to be alive In the fall the Marsh is dressed again, in colors of different hue It radiates in a glorious way, The frost stings, and the wind blows, the leaves all fall away, Till the Northern Lights begin to glow, with the birth of a Winter day Resting in its bed of ice, with its glistening blanket of snow, The Marsh sleeps on, till the breath o Spring gives it a golden glow The trees awaken and begin to bloom, the birds commense to sing, The lazy field throws off its gloom, e arsh cries out nIt's Springln Lydia MacKinnon S3 LOVELY LILACS Our lilac bush, so trim and neat, Is it at it's best in summer's heat Which brings out fragrance fresh and sweet To neighbors strolling down our street Whiter than the clouds on high Snowy white to catch the eye Of any friend as he goes by My house where lovelv lilacs lie Roberta Olsen '53 ' s J 3 , .9 against a sky of blue. f Th M -- I
