with skill an enormous mass Of material. and

THE CALM.

BY GEORGE IVES
Where is the gale that blew
Outside this morning?
From sea up TO cloud it flew
At gray lights dawning.
With a scream like the hawk on high,
And far-ruShing wing,
II swept with a sad low cry
As a phantom thing.
And all the throb and the swirl
OF the loOse-leapt wind
Left neither eddy nor whirl
In its track behind
Left neither hollow nor hill.
But Il dew-drOp calm.
Where no nature-note was Shrill
In the sunlghtS balm.
