The Forerunner.

The Forerunner.
Heavily in his breast
The mariners heart was beating;
Ever the course shaped west,
Ever the land retreatlng.
Mutiny muttering loud,
Naught all his hoping. his dreaming;
Suddenly out of a cloud
Wings were flashing and streaming!
Wings that told of the nest,
Told of the bOugh and the blossom;
Gave HIM the JOY Of his quest,
Kindled the heart in his bosom.
Promising land at last,
CIrcling over and under,
Tanning around his mast;
What was the bird, wonderl
Nothing the GenOese cared,
Were IL or osprey or swallow,
The gray sea waste was dared
Palm fringe and shore must follow.
Oh, when bleak skies break up
With winds the bluebird is whirled In,
/ drink from the self same cup
The yoyager pledged the world In.
For some of his Joy must be
In the flash of the bithe newcomer,
Whose wing discovers 10 me
Whole continents OF summer.

John and Nan.


Little John and his sister Nan
Made In their little heads plan,
When tired of play they were. one day,
They set their hearts on running away;
And with no regard for this or that,
One would carry the old white cat,
And one would carry the small white kit,
That sometimes scratched and sometimes bit,
And they would run so far. 40 fast,
They would come to the end OF the world at
last.
So fast and far they would fly. and fly,
They could touch the blue edge of the sky.
So little Nan and her brother John,
With neither "a hat nor a bonnet on,
He with his arms shut close and tight
Round the neck OF old pussy white;
She with her arms around the kit,
Carrying. hugging, squeezingit,
Started to run so far and fast
They would reach the end Of the world at
last;
Started so fast and far to fly,
They would touch the blue edge of the sky;
But the eat and kitten proved such weight.
They went no further than the gate.
