5rj|0 nt ty of a §torm The crickets are chirping, Their gay voices lurking Amid the green grass of a meadow near by ; The river is flowing, The wild wind is blowing, And chasing the white clouds across a blue sky i The rain comes a-pouring, The river starts roaring, The crickets are stilled and cease their shrill cry ; The thunder comes shrieking. The lightning comes streaking, The storm ' s at its crisis ; ' twill cease bye and bye. E. F. — VI a. — 16 —

I ' d watch the butterflies flit by, Have grasses growing near, And branches waving upon high, With blossoms hah the year. I ' d feel the rain drops cool and clear. Falling gently down. I ' d see the little violets dear In dainty purple gown. D. H. J.— Ill b ICurnuig by the §0a. A clear light tills the western sky, Merging into the blue on high. And the pink fleecy clouds in billows rest Just over the skyline in the west. Now a great white sail comes slowly by, And no sound is heard save the seagulls ' cry, And a lapping murnuu- amongst the caves, As a little sea breeze just tips the waves. And now the rose clouds turn to grey. As slowly, slowly they fade away ; The blue and the amber paler grow As the dusk creeps on ; the breezes blow More freshly now, and toss the spray. And the waves leap higher in their play. But now the dark is all about, And the lighthouse beacon flashes out ; The air hangs dull and mistily, And the surf beats heav} out at sea. M. A. — VT a. You ask me why, tho ' ill at ease Within the school I do persist, Whose spirits falter for a rest. And languish for the social seas. Dear friend, I do it not with will, But sober Education chose That here I stay until she knows That I could pass into McGill. E. C. F.— VI a. — 15 —
