Songs From The City
By Philippa Sherman
SCHERZO
Country lanes
are tulip-gav,
and meadows daisy-dripping,
But along city streets
bright bunches of spring
dresses bloom,
and plots of Easter
bonnets lift
vivid heads
on slender stalks.
SONATA
Big houses sit enthroned
on their estates . . .
lonely kings,
Little liases
join hands and sing
“Precious things
come in small parcels. . .
We are Homes.”
NOCTURNE
The great city lies
prone
in the darkness,
swathed in his jewels of night-lights
stretching his limbs
to the hills
and flinging
bracelets of lighted bridges
across the dusky arms
of his paramore
the river
* * # *
“Beauty and The Beast”
I sing my song—wildly, freely—
With head thrown back I stand alone, singing.
My song is of love, and my voice is beauty. Softly,
With warmth, with passion made fine through the
Fierceness of its burning—
I sing—
I sing, and my soul, naked and fragile—
beauty ethereal—
streams forth in a golden paen.
I sing to The Gods—and a Fool
Squatting on his hauches before me
cackles with laughter—
Brown nosed, open mouthed, a Fool sways
And cackles—mirthfully cackles in glee.
LEON B.

slowly swaying on our verandah.
Mysterious and gorgeous.

As your fragrance.elusive.
Making lavendar lace

Wisteria.
a symphony of cloud-like mist
spilling its delicate flowers
in tapering mass.

I was distraught with the vast weariness of youth,
Unreasoning pain—
The swelling of great tears within
The press of frantic needs without.
Blindly I battered at the crush of life—
And was asudden quieted _____ .
By fingers of the rain. „ _;'

Swift, fleeting, long grey rain clouds
Warriors of the oncoming storm,
Deep thunder in their battle drum
And lightening their swords.
