Afterglow
(To J. B.)
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.

{ 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—.
