RESURGENCE
She said goodbye to youth without a tear,
And welcomed age as one who greets a friend;
Knowing all earthly things must have an end,
No matter by whom treasured nor how dear.
She thought to walk sedately through the days
And keep old memories deep within her heart,
Forbidding buried hopes to rise and start
Again to beckon her to pleasant ways
Where joy might meet her and where peace might
soothe.
But as age stooped her shoulders, bowed her head,
Changed her quick step to slow and heavy tread,
And wrinkles gave for flesh so white and smooth,
There still were times when from her faded eyes
Her youth looked out again in sudden, wide surprise.
THE SEASONS
When April comes with swelling buds and softly
breezes blow
The daffodils that nod and dance the while;
As my heart rejoices in the glad re-birth
I shall be remembering how you used to smile.
When summer flowers nod heavily as bee 9 their
honey sip,
And peaches ripen in the sun and dew.
And wheat fields yield their largess of food for
those who toil,
I shall be remembering the warmth of love we knew.
When autumn brings the shorter days as southward
moves the sun,
When summer flowers sink gently into mold:
When leaves flame out their protest at the kisses of
the frost,
I shall be remembering how your heart grew cold.
When winter’s bitter winds shall rave and ice shall
hold the streams,
And darkly gray the clouds hang overhead;
While others wait in faith and hope for brighter
days to come,
I shall be remembering the day your love lay dead.
TO
Your eyes, twin miniatures
Os a pool of smoky water I once knew —
Set in a hidden glade and watered by
A tiny spring, that on the margin leapt with joy
At such a pretty trysting place.
And e’en the Sun, that ruthless God.
Was shamed to trespass or,
Her chastity—save one bold beam,
Mor e nearly brazen than the rest.
Who crept between the jealous, drooping trees
That almost met above, to lie upon
Her bossom and make free
With all her charms; them atole away
With sad regreb-at dusk.

FINIS
Let me rest, for I am weary; I have journeyed far
today;
Let me sigh, fori am burdened; few' have helped me
on my way;
And the ones who loved have left me; I am lonely,
let me weep;
Swiftly come the night and darkness; day is ended:
let me sleep.
WOODLAND STREAM
Once I came to a beautiful stream.
Deep in the woods it did trickle and gleam.
It was nicer there than at other places,
Because it was away from open spaces.
The sun came down between the leaves,
Which were thick upon the trees,
The breezes were nice and cool,
And made swift ripples along the pool.
It was like a bad dream when I had to go home,
From the banks of the stream that 1 love to roam.
—Barrie Davis.
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
Our men foresaw that if we became a nation
As we’d like to be, with a great population
That our national government must be strong
In order to last for ever so long.
So a convention in Philadelphia was called
In which men like Washington stood up and bawled
About whether to let the Articles stay
Or whether to simply throw them away.
Seventy-five men were whom they planned to invite,
But only fifty-five of them wer e polite
Enough to accept the invitation
To enter into the conversation.
So the constitutional convention
Met, as I said with the intention
Os revising the articles, as they might do
Or if they wished, to begin anew.
Since, four years ago, there had been a revolution
They began all over with a new constitution
Which enforced all the laws that the articles did not,
This, I imagine, kept them in a tight spot.
And all their bones were very tired
So’after their brains had quite expired
And they had finished their four months’ stay,
i bet they were glad to get away.
But think of all the trouble they took
To write that document which is in our book
And maybe you’ll have a better appreciation
Os the laws that have preserved our nation.
—Jocelyn House.

FLOWERS
Where do the lovely flowers grow
Down by the meadow row by row?
And what makes the wind toss
them so?
To make their beautiful colors
glow.
What makes the red rose shine?
And the odor so fine?
What makes the violets blue,
And the lovely hyacinth too?
These are the things I can’t make
out,
Maybe they will tell me when they
sprout.
