Robin leads the orchestra. From blustery March through May; Calling birds from slumber To Join in song and play. Their sweet resounding voices Drive night-gloom away; So, time we mortals waken. The world la bright and gay. Let's rouse some morning, early, And hear their roundelay; Sing with them in thankfulness. And human Joy portray: Hours that come will seem less glum At closing of the day. Clara Cogswell Ingham, fA delegate from Portland to the Writers' convention.) THE COLl'MHIA AT BONNEVILLE A mighty, dappled stallion charges ever to the sea, Surrounded by a tossing troop's re verberating roar Of thudding hoofs that echo down the gorge from shore to shore. The future casts a shadow of corrals from which they flee With arching necks; while flowing manes stream backward, wildly free. The mighty chaiger sniffs the wind and thunder on before The waving herd; then sounding high his challenge, makes a more Determined rush, a downward dash, to shun captivity. For eons he cascaded here, unham pered and untnmed; In grandeur led his million-horse, to gallop down the hills. Man covets, now. his power, ao his liberty Is maimed; The stallion, cornered, free no more to wander as he wills. Is being held and harnessed. March of progress has proclaimed That now he knows a master and hla destiny fulfills. (By Anna Holm Pogue. Portland, a delegate to the League of Westen Writers' convention.)
