TODAY,S BIT OF VERSE
A SONG.

A sum-.
What have you seen, what have you heard,
Bird, bird, homing bird?
l saw the fields where nothing grows.
And marching, rows and rows,
And broken trees where nests we're
No bird had builded there,
heard the cries of men at war,
Around the world their armies are
Around the world and back again
Echo the feet Of marching
How can you sing. 0 homing bird,
After what you have seen and heard?
AS / have always sung sing
War cannot stay the feet of Spring.
And when men die that men may live,
Then he is poor who does not give
And have only songs to bring.
Therefore sing!
You sing your old songs, word for word
Bird. bird. o homing Bird
Over the tortured fields in Spring
Your old, glad song goes echong,
Why do you not sing litanies
For weeping folk and broken trees?
The singing angel. ISRAELI,
Sends out the little birds to tell
The Love of God In songs that he
Teaches to each one patiently.
My song is glad because he said
That sad hearts shall be comforted;
That this torn earth shall Yield again
Blossom and fruit and seed to men:
That kind, new grass shall, biaaie by blade,
Cover the scars that war has made;
That some day down the village street
Again the fathers homing feet
Shall seek the cottage window light
And comforts of the home and night.
So my song goes ringing through
The broken towers and the blue
And trembling air, trtunnphantiy,
I sing what angels have taught me-
That God Is good and truth is strong,
And right shall triumph over wrong
No heavenly plan has gone astray
Because the hlossou1ing trees OF May
Are bruised and torn, and who give
Their lives that other men may live
Are most like Him who died to save,
And stronger far than death grave,
Out OF the earth came IN the spring.
Therefore 7 sing. Therefore I sing,
Louise Dyiscoll.
