Well gram gfeaven By A. C. GREEN The darkened city, Of Shadows and forms, Moves in awe and Terror. Clutched and bent, With fear and horror, And death- The people stumble, And grope, past Their brothers, and Wonder, unbelievingly At this Torture. From the distance- Comes the wail and moan ,... The warning . . . Take cover . . It has come. Those who had looked up For help, and Pleaded to God for Aid from above- Now look up and Tremble, - as they perceive Through the darkness and gloom, Shiny forging Devils - Roaring and whizzing, and With ghastly gurgles Spitting out from their Bodies messages of Woe and destruction And Billets of death. Quiet and still. Quiet and still. Safe. Is it safe? Creep and crawl- The mortals creep out From draughty cellars, and Mucky holes, and dare Once more to raise their Heads above the earth. Smoke and powdered brick Fill and Stiffle the air . . . Still crumbling to dust Groan the remains of Art and Sweat. Surprised to be alive, and Moving like rats just come From nooks, cracks and holes, People laugh nervously: And wish relieved Curiosity look up- Up to the sky . . . Some look up to Pray, pray not to hear The sickly wail of the warning. Pray to a God who has been Dethroned from the heavens, And given a haven in the safety of Hell.

.Yin gram the flains By M. I'm from the plains. With nothing in the way at all, but just some clumps of trees. I like a country where there is room to see and see . . . I like the sunsets weaving in the ecstasy Of living colors all across the sky. And I like the winds That ripple across the wheat, trailing long gray skirts Gently over the goldenness, and run long slim fingers through my hair. Yes, I'm from the plains . . . but I like the mountains, too. There is a brooding, strong defiance in the mountains, And the trees are tall. Water rushes, and the wind Roars deepeningly from one lake-filled valley to another Tossing trees and moaning through the fir tree needles. I like to stand on some great rock . . . look down, and see The world lying at my feet . . . lakes, trees and valleys Trembling in the light. Snow looks hauntingly lovely, too, under mountain sunset glows, A cap of molten glory for an age-old hill . . , yes, I like the moutains, But I'm from the plains . . . The Sewing, Rounding, Backing and Casing In . . . is a product COMPLIMENTS OF of our bindery.
