1960 BLUE STAR St. Mary’s Academy Austin, Texas ARTISTRY Of what strange matter has God made the girl. Elusive as the dews that shaggy hedges pearl Before they melt within the kisses of the sun. She is a golden dream but half begun, A fairy leading through alluring ways. With all the fragrant morning in her gaze. She is the laughter of all noonday skies. The sudden mist of tears in evening's faded eyes. She is the sigh from passing sadness sprung, A song of life with all its lines unsung. She is the mother of a race to be. The molder of a nation's destiny. She is white seed prisoned in a stirring clod. Spirit and earth. What whimsy in the mind of God To make the girl and let her young hands hold All flowers ot love and life as they unfold 1 Mother M. Eleanore, C.S.C.
