The National Capitol Barbara Kolb Through the leafy bower of wide-spread trees Matted with clusters of new fallen snow, Supreme on an earth of material things, The Dome of Freedom stands straight and alone. The sun shining proudly, serenely on high Like a blazing omen of power in its sphere, With its rays outstretched embracing the world, Sifts its last quiet beam on the tall rounded Dome. The soft swirling snow floating down from above, Clothes the earth gently; with a last loving touch, Tucks a few stray flakes on the smooth-surfaced shelter That shields the beauty and wisdom within. A haven of safety, a harbor in storms, Its lofty peak will soar to the skies. Serene and splendid and noble, we hope Our emblem of power will reign through the years.

Entrance to Main Margaret Healy A curving walk sweeps up To the grandly arched doorway, Round which is clustered Luxuriantly blooming shrubs Richly covered with Green leaves of jade-velvet. A majestically looming tree Sends its dusky traceries Over the sweep of grass. The silence of peace and study Is undisturbed but for The mysterious whispering Of the leaves of friendly maples. Mayhap they re praying their COMPLINE OR LAUDS.
