A BEAUTIFUL POEM
Among the talented -visitors to
Highlands this summer was Mrs.
Dawson Winter, who, with Mr.
Winter, and their son, Roane, have
been guests at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Tudor Hall. Mrs. Winter
has written several poems and is
now engaged in writing a child
ren's book. The following poem was
inspired by the beautiful falls near
Highlands which are called "Dry
Falls," or "Cullasaja Falls." JUrs.
Winter has named them "The
Dancing Falls."
MOUNTAIN TRYSTING
The Lover Lake is lying calm
In a silver bed, draped round with
green,
Scented with aromatic balm,
Langourous and serene. .
The Stream, a dancer, tripping,
Far up the mountain, slipping
From stone to stone comes dipping.
Her ankles, curved like shells,
Are bound with tinkle bells.
And fairy laughter, pealing
In delicate revealing
Of paths where she is stealing,
Her secret joy foretells.
With jeweled laces swirling
And spangled tresses curling,
All merrily she's whirling
In caracoles of grace,
When rocks oppose her pace!
They seize her. But she turns,
resisting
Flings off rainbow veils of misting,
Leaps in glorious 'bridal trysting
To her waiting Love's embrace!
I Anne-Elise Roane Wintev

This poem has been published in
"Blue Moon," a poetry magazine
in Washington, D. C.
