And gazes mutely on high
Fjxhaling and weeping and
trembling
For love and loves overjoy.

As sweet as any flower so fair and

rocked by mother's hand
Softly rest and slumber while she

And when thou wakes t, to thee, a
rose and lily will she bring.

Do I love to roam?
Ts it to weep alone?

Or of brown leaflets falling
And yet these tears have charms
for me
Even though I sigh
I feel that I am glad
But why?
(b) Beau Soir
—Debussy (1862-1918)
(Translation)
When setting sun turns rivers to
rose
And warm tremors run o’er fields
of grain
And urge to he happy seems to
come from things
And to surge towards the troubled
heart
An urge to exult in the pure joy
of living
Especially when young, and the
evening is beautiful
For we all go away, as the wave
goes away
Waves to the sea, we to the tomb,
(c) Mandolin ...-. ..Debussy
(Translation)
Gay cavaliers who make serenades
And beautiful listening maidens
'Xeath branches singing as gaily
Soft, foolish words are exchanging
Here's Tricis, and here’s Arminta
and there eternal clitander.
Flerc's Damis for some cruel maid
he makes tender verses
Their short waist coats of silk.
their long robes with trains
Their elegance, their joy and their
soft blue shadows
Whilr in ecstacy 'neath a rose gray
moon
M-'hile the mandolin chatters mongst
tremulous breezes.
II Xeige - Bemberg
(Translation)
'Tis snowing and the large flakes
like cotton, fall on snow-covered
roofs
The timorous birds huddle together
closing their eyes too cold to
sing.
"Tis snowing, 'tis snowing, and all
is covered,
With the wliite mantle of snow
'Tis drear and cold and the icy
winds freeze
Our very liearts and unhappy lovers
sigh for
The Warmth of Spring.

context of the challenge, that it is
a challenge "for an education that
aims not only at the development of
intellect, but also at the development
of character." He gave as another
purpose of tlie challenge, the })ro-
duction of citizenship. Dr. Frazer
closed with the true and effective
.statement that “Our world mu.st be
healed; and truth mu.st be the healing
balm.”
