Lyric Rainbow

Separate
(To Hyacinth) °
Only the bats swoop thru the heavy air,
Only the black night leans across ihe grass—
No star, no moon, no wind: and down die stair
No silver slippers flash. The shadows mass.
Heart of my heart, I'm lonely in the night.
My visions wane. My high thots cry untold
Within my soul. And love burns on. Our white
Youth swiftly goes. Too soon we shall be old.
Too soon we shall be dead. Heath knows no end.
0 my Beloved, come to me tonight—
Come to my breast—dream with me for a space:
We’ll climb a hill in starry-mad delight;
Then we shall kiss and fearlessly descend
To darkness—you with rapture on your face.
—WALTER EVANS KIDD (“The Lyric”)

Narcissus
It will not matter in a thousand years
That you have seen and yet not found me fair.
The moon will shine the same. My futile fears
And hopeless hopes will rest in dust somewhere.
Yet now is now, and I am here!
Narcissus blooms—my dear—my dear—
—MARGARET SKA VLAN.

The Blind Painter’s Mistress
Yes, I am beautiful—Why did I choose
To spend myself on one who had no eyes?—
“Think how the gods must laugh that he should lose
Himself unwittingly in paradise!”
’Tis so they spoke, these foolish friends at tea
Upon the terrace.
How were they to know
My mad, barbaric joy? He comes to me
At night to kiss my outspread hair. I go
Into a sleep where I can share his dark,
And he to dreams of color and of light.
My beauty to our love is but the spark
To kindle it to flame, yet never quite
Can he possess the light whose warmth he feels.
I lie within his arms—his heart can find
How much I love—to him my spirit kneels—
So dear—so inarticulate—so blind.
—MARGARET SKA VLAN (“Overland Monthly”)
Lilith
Once Cain the child of Adam played
With goldfish in a little pool.
The demon-woman passed the cool
Embowered glade.
The baby-ronndness of the child,
His curls, his gurgles of delight
Drew.Lilith’s eyes, and at the sight
She stopped and smiled.
She smiled again, then nearer stepped.
Wind-tossed of hair, strange, amber-eyed
She stood; Eve’s son fled terrified.
And Lilith wept.
—MARGARET SKAVLAN (in “Palms”)

To a Child Crying for the Moon
Hush, little one, and go to sleep—
It cannot be.
We all reach finite hands to grasp
Infinity.

Interment
I hide the thought of you within my heart—
Too sweet to wrap in winding-sheet of verse—
And yet it so shall be. Egyptian art
Traced mortal beauty ere it could depart,
Sealed it unfaded against Time’s dull curse.
And who shall say in what dream-wonderment
I shall behold this love for you some day?—
This princess was found buried, with the scent
Still in her jeweled hair, and wise men bent
To touch her little shoes, with tomb-dust gray.
—MARGARET SKAVLAN (in “The Fugitive”)

A Mexican Laborer Sings
Only a Mexican laborer
Strumming a square tin can guitar,
Only a broken voice shrilling
In the fire flicker on the rough box ear.
“Valga mi Dios”
Burdened pathos in a knotty tone:
Tomorrow only brings more labor,
Swing o,f the pick and clatter of tools—
Still he sees the bull-pit and flashing saber.
' “Cuando sali a Habana”
The man in the moon must have made
A twisted, mirthless sidewise grin,
While the black eyes ached with longing
As bitter as an untold sin.
His voice broke in an ashy sob;
The fire paled beggarly-low:
Through the nicotine dark
Onlv his cigaret’s small vellow glow.
—ALFRED ANDREWS.

A Sonnet to Hyacinth
»
Now we shall live! We'll drink these April days
Like wine, with every sorrow hid behind
Your beauty: in your lyric eyes I find
The uplands of our love that dewly blaze
With buttercups in prints where danced the feet
Of Pan. Let’s stretch upon the grass and twine
Faith with our folly—hear a lark repeat
The aching bliss your lips hpve taught to mine.
We’ll let the sage (with whiskers down to here)
Frown at the morning blossoms of our mirth
And chide the dream of Pan and lean to peer
Into the cynic darkness of the earth—
Our souls, beyond his gaze, reach to a star;
Beloved, we live our lives for what they are.
—WALTER EVANS KIDD—(“The Harp”)

ANNE DEAR:
These marvelous spring days J
put enthusiasm into mej every* ^
thing is so cheery and bright.!
However, this weather makes!
me think of good times rather |
than good lessons.
* * <
You don’t know hew thrilled|
I was when Harry, whom I have 1
been cherishing as a secret sor-1
row, took me canoeing last night. |
Two other couples went with us. 1
Everything had been so com- §
pletely arranged by the boys, |
even to the dishes. Harry said
that they bought a Lily Picnic
package at Underwood and El
liot’s Grocery, for in this con
venient package the paper cloth
and napkins, bread and batter
plates, salad dishes, spoons and
cups are packed. They are so
easy to carry, and can be thrown
away as soon as they have been
used.
* * *
As I aim having a date with
Harry again tonight, I made a
trip down to the Hasting Sisters
this morning and had a facial
pack. Now my skin has the pink,
healthy glow that makes rouge
unnecessary. There, one may get
excellent facial shampoos, both
plain and pack, as well as
bleaches. The girls from the
house all go there, as the work is
done by experts.

When Set
aldine and Peg
were at Raup’s
Floral Shop
getting roses
and sweet peas
for decorations
I tor the tea we had the other day,
they said that they saw two gor
geous bridal bouquets there, too.
Judging from the way the girls
spoke, I know they were elabor
ate affairs. Peg said that each
eontained large pink roses com
bined with sweet peas of the
same delicate shade, a touch of
foliage, and rich-looking lilieB of
the valley. Doesn’t, it make one
wish that she were the one to
carry such a beautiful bouquet?
* * *
Between classes, I stopped in
at the Co-ed Barber Shop, which
is on Kincaid street, next to the
Co-op, and had a feather-edge
bob. By means of an electric
clipper—and professional barbers
—a woman never fails to get a
"factory hair cut there. Then,
too, there are no rpen to gaze
while one’s hair is trimmed, for
this shop is exclusively for
women. ' <

Dressmaking is generally a
tiresome thing, particularly when
one has to worry about pleats,
or getting buttons to match the
garment. These problems are .all
eliminated by patronizing the
Art and Needlcraft Shop, which
is just next to the First National
bank, for there all seams can be
finished neatly by hemstitching,
J or decorations can be applied in
j the same way. Besides, it is pos
sible to get pleats of any type in
any kind of material, as well as
various kinds of buttons for
• every need. ^ f j
