GODDESS OF THE MOON Diana the silver moon doth rule, V'lhere e'er it shine on rock or pool, On country lane, or city street- Still'd awhile from busy feet. In her chariot, 'cross the sky- Diana, from her watch on high , Rules the world thro' s till of night Till we awake to m::>rning light.

TRANQUILLITY

The grace of the bending grasses, The flush of the dawn-lit sky, The scent that lingers, then passes- When the loite·ring wind goes by, Are glimpses and hints of sweetness From the unseen depths afar- The foam-edge of Heaven's completeness, Swept onward through flower and star. For the cloud, and the leaf, and the blossom, The shadow, the Jlickering beam, Are waifs on the sea-like bosom Of beauty, beyond our dream: It's glow to our earth is given; It freshens the lower air;

-BARBARA PAYNE, III .E.

DREAMING

Little cottage that I love, Set among the hills, above The sloping valley where the blue-bells grow.

I have sought you here and there, Searched the country everywhere; But I cannot find the roadway through the years to long ago . Li ttle cottage, I remember Your swift welcome warm and tender, And the loving heart that beat with the greatest love I know. I am old and I am grey, and I cannot find the way To creep back along the roadway of the years to long ago . - LORNA PFEFFER, III.D .

Oh! the fathomless wells of heaven- The springs of the earth rise there!

EDRIS PLATZER, III .£ .
