Spring Behind the Ruins


And shall the springtime come again t.
France
Where everything is waste, decay and
death?
Her sons are gone. Shall Youth return ono,
more
To bring glad rebirth where winter was?
Behind the lines, now safe but bare of life,
The tumbled ruins of home are left,
And here woman seeks to find some part
Some scraps from her old life to start anew
She bends above the muddy little pool,
Scrubbing and rinsing as in peaceful days
Before the war; and in that homely task
She seems stranger to the shell torn hill,
The ruined houses and the tortured stump:
Which were an orchard. Then she lifts
her head
And from the nettled wrinkles of her face =.
Her eyes stare out with senses blind and
numb,
And she could almost be accounted dead
With the bent trees. There all in sight i.
dead.
Destroy ed and fruitless, desolate and torn,
Except, behind the tumble of barn,
A sprig of green, branch of shell-shot tree,
Growing end budding on the ruined hill.
The woman turns again to her old task,
Weary and pumbed, and there behind hel
grows
And buds a single branch, as Gut of place
As is her search for life upon the hill.
Yet still it seems to say, "The spring i.
come!
New life, new hope, new growth among
the dead
From naked, blackened hills, through she'll.
plowed fields
There comes stir of life, and the old ant
weak
Returning to their homes and their ole
tasks.
The dead sends out new growth. TIL,
spring is here
Green leaves above the dead-the spring il
France!

Leaves From Our Poets.
The Peace Table

By G. B.
President Wilson went across the sea
To attend the trial of Germany
And help form Worlds Democracy
And destroy the "Beast of Berlin
May God Almighty who lives in the sky,
Who has heard the worlds heart-rending
cry,
Inspire and bless the Board most nightly
To crush this murderous monster.
There never was a time in human ken
This world demanded such wisdom of men
With hearts and brains, with tongue and
pen,
To clean out 'Baby-killers'
Witness Russia and Servia all torn,
And the nobIest of France and Belgium
shorn,
With millions thruout the world to mourn
These unspeakable acts of frightful--
May all at this meeting be fully resolved
That all of the Nations which are thus in
volved,
Will get all their major troubles solved,
Including these incarnate fiends of
hell.
We trust that the members of this Board
Will join in heartily with one accord
And Danish forever the bloody sword,
And moose the monstrosity.
This war, now closed, will have been
fought in vain
And the blood of those cry out that are
slain,
Unless permanent peace we obtain,
And forever Danish destructive war.

A Christmas Wish

Wherever there is sickness
May Santa Claus bring health;
Wherever there is poverty
May Santa Claus bring wealth.
Wherever one is weeping
May tears to smiles give way,
Wherever sadness hovers
May 10y come Christmas day.
To every heart that's aching
May peace and comfort come,
And may an outlook rosy
Supplant each outlook glum.
May friends now separated
Soon reunited be,
And everyone find gladness
Upon this Christmas tree.

We Shall Remember Them

They sleep beneath no immemorial yews;
Their resting place no temple arches
hem;
No blazoned shaft or craven tablet woos
Mems praise-and yet we shall remem-
Der them.
The unforgetting clouds shall drop their
tears;
The winds in ceaseless lamentation
wall,
For Gods white Knights are lying on
their biers,
Who pledged their service to restore the
grail.
They gave their lives to make the whole
world free:
They rocked not to what flag they were
assigned,
The Starry Banner, Cross, or Flesnde'
lis
Their sacrifice was made for all man
kind.
For them the task is done, the strife is
stilled;
No more shall care disturb nor zeal
condemn;
And when the larger good has been full
filled,
In coming years we shall remember
them.
How can the world their deeds forget? In
White crosses everywhere lift pallid
hands,
Like silent sentinels with sword and lance,
To keep their memory safe for other
What need have they for holy sepulchpr?
Within the hearts of men is hallowed
ground
A sanctuary where they rest secure,
And with Loves immortality are
crowned.
And far-off voices of the future sing,
''They shall remain in memory's Dia-
dem;''
And winds of promise still are whispering
That same refrain, s'We shall remem-
Der them"
