Page 149 - And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. 10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard ; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger : I am the LORD your God.
Page 181 - Once upon a time and a very good time it was there was a moocow coming down along the road and this moocow that was coming down along the road met a nicens little boy named baby tuckoo . . . His father told him that story: his father looked at him through a glass: he had a hairy face.

Page 181 - I have a rendezvous with Death At some disputed barricade, When Spring comes back with rustling shade And apple-blossoms fill the air — I have a rendezvous with Death When Spring brings back blue days and fair. It may be he shall take my hand And lead me into his dark land And close my eyes and quench my breath — It may be I shall pass him still.

Page 100 - White gleam the gulls across the darkling tide, On the green hills the red flowers seem to burn ; Alas ! I see another spring has died When will it come — the day of my return...
Page 7 - HOW ROSES CAME RED. ROSES at first were white, Till they could not agree, Whether my Sappho's breast Or they more white should be. But, being vanquished quite, A blush their cheeks bespread; Since which, believe the rest, The roses first came red.
Page 155 - The College will reopen Sept — ." Catalogue. I WAS just aiming at the jagged hole Torn in the yellow sandbags of their trench, When something threw me sideways with a wrench, And the skies seemed to shrivel like a scroll And disappear . . . and propped against the bole Of a big elm I lay, and watched the clouds Float through the blue, deep sky in speckless crowds, And I was clean again, and young, and whole. Lord, what a dream that was ! And what a doze Waiting for Bill to come along to class !...
Page 98 - TO A FIREFLY. Rain cannot quench thy lantern's light, Wind makes it shine more brightly bright ; Oh why not fly to heaven afar, And twinkle near the moon— a star ! A VISIT TO THE CLEAR COLD FOUNTAIN.
