ECSTACY OF SPRING
When moonbeams are fresh washed
with showers
And hills are decked with silver
flowers,
My spirit and my body merge
In fairy phantom flying urge.
—Stella James Boren, Ablene
EXPECTATION
I love to watch the sun go down j
Behind the purple hlU
At eventide, when darkness falls.
And all the world is still.
When pink and crmlson sunset hues
Are melting into gold.
The gentle shepherd herds his
sheep,
And puts them in the fold.
Between the earth and heaven,
Brightly shining from afar.
Like a diamond In the distance,
Is the gleaming evening star
And through the dusky twilight.
Like a sunbeam through the
rain.
With your brown eyes softly gleam- !
lng,
You come smiling back again.
