From Illinois to Oregon; From the grief of sunset , .y To the lilied solitude of dawn. Rose-petalled views of childhood years: Buttercup scents in heart— Thrushes singing in the hedge— The glowing shouts of brothers— The intimate Hearth of- home . . . Back in Oregon. Song of grief be still. Death is Life’s conquest of i Immortality. —WALTER KIDD. # * # * f >v" { Hidden Beauty Sometimes, When I am tired Blue skies seemed streaked with gray— Clouds do not float by with airy lightness, But falter, travel sluggishly. And all I see of autumn trees Is barrenness—cold hard limbs and Skeleton leaves dead-dropping. i 7 Then I go out—quickly— 7 Down country roads, 7 ; Brown, cold, bare— . r f Past qjuddy rivers; r. I climb the hill, my hill , And lie on,the brown, dead moss. Breezes blow about me. T They blow the tiredness away. Then I feel the moss—soft and 7 Full of buried life. Greyness leaves the sky— It dazzles tourquoise, and Clouds, like fairy-wings Run races on the blue. And all around me ,7 U Lacy leaves float down—spirit leaves All ruffled and cobwebby. Then I run down the hill; I see red vivid patches along The hard, brown roads. I cross the muddy river and Wonder why I didn’t see the Long, slim shadows shining on the ripples When I passed there before. —MARGARET VINCENT. * * * # Manchu Dancer Found Ki in a port of call Down in the gaming hall of Ling. Found her in a bronze-green dragoned silk, Her slim voice a mystic tinkling— Wavering, tiny like the chiming Of a '“silver clear pergoda bell, Like dusky breath of cherry blossoms In the swirling sailor hell. i I stood with eyes sea-dulled While the curtain closed on her dancing. The years have passed like moonlight tides That hold the wonder of her glancing. While, every evening, seabirds call, I hear the beat of her voice in Ling’s dim hall. —ALFRED ANDREWS. * * * * Mighty Oregon Mighty Oregon! Thus thy stalwart sons do thee acclaim And in so doing, do but voice a tribute to thy fame Which day by day, in ever waxing neightiness transcends The glory of thine high estate to which our labor bends. May future generations, ever-watchful, ever-proud Of thine increasing greatness, stand before thee, humbly bowed. » In adoration of thy name, kept pure as Vesta’s fire, And chant their hymns of fealty, which now our hearts inspire.' —J. M. GREGORY. * * * • Harlequin I laugh, madly. I throw back my head and laugh— ! And the laughter clutches at my throat Like a mad Assassin. Pourquoi ?— “Come—grasp the casket— Life it holds, beauty—truth. See, it is golden, it shines- it Is yours!!” My eager hands reach—not Lustfully—touch the casket—I thrill! Beauty is mine! Yet— At that first glowing contact, the Hooded One- who, smiling, gave the gift, Sneers, and with a crashing blow shatters the vessel I hold in awe. I clutch the broken fragments in my hands— The sharp beautiful bits of a thing-tbat-is-dead— The ghouls about me who are men laugh,—-dry, Bitter laughter,^—clutching as they laugh Bits Of Things— < Stunned,^bewildered, I laugh. I throw back my head and I laugh— And the laughter clutches at my throat Like a mad, malignant Assassin. - —LEON B—.
