THE WIDE AWAKE Page Eleven EDUCATION Sonnet: A teacher to a pupil (Juline Warner Comstock, 1915) Behind my desk I sit in solemn sway, Compelling you reluctantly to learn Th - mysteries of ablative in turn, W hit. Fancy bids you wander far away. I wonder, do you guess as here I stay Aloof, as on a throne, with aspect stern. Imparting ancient wisdom, how I yearn To he a sharer of your dreams and play? Your love of Life that bygone Rome defies; Your closer contact with a world that's new,— How powerless I feel where you are wise! 1 lo lg to pierce the barrier 'twixt us two: Would you respect my years, should you surmise How ceaselessly, in truth, I learn from you? Juline Warner Comstock 176 Highland Avenue Leonia, New Jersey IN THE SPRING A STUDENTS FANCY— Oh, the air is sweet with lilacs. For Spring is at the May— Why do I have to sit and plug At Caesar, night and day? In the passive periphrastic— 7 wo brown wrens have built their nest. And a bob-o-link is carolling. For Caul slopes north and West. In the liy of the valley Callic chief's have pitched their tents. And Caesar sent-two orioles!— To Warn him of events. Having built his camp of dogwood, ( The bridal wreath’s in flower!) He slew two thousand robins Before the seventh hour. Azalia is subjunctive— What Was that note I heard? And having fought this battle He spared the humming-bird. Oh, why did Caesar have to Conquer Caul in early spring? And teacher won't believe I study Hard as anything! Juline Warner Comstock. Woodbury H. S„ 1915 SONG OF A SENIOR (To be sung to the melody of Love’s Old Sweet Song. Once in the dear dead days beyond recall I look many subjects, but Ceometry Was worst of all. Out of my day-dreams there came the teacher's Voice, Which made my heart do everything except rejoice. He'd call on me, just when my dreams seemed bright And of course my answer Was never right. Just a mem'my to me Days too soon gone by— Sighing I'll remember Days at Woodbury High, Soon I'll part from classmates Who have toiled with me, Toiled through hardest problems Of Ceometry. —May Swanson, '32.
