Red Cross workers, so | am writing
you my thanks. And first. let me
say you have a unit here at this hos
pital, base 40, representing your
state, that you can we'll be proud Of.

Clarelen, when Hook into thine eyes
l see the vanishing of low-born things,
My vision rising on the feecy wings
OF aspiration to the azure skies
When speakest thou to me, in smiles or signs,
hear harp of sweet Aeolian strings,
Or listen to requiem that sings
Its slow and intermittent sobs and dies. ~
When TOUGHEST thou my hand, around me steal
lnciting currents that accelerate
My breathing, and arouse within me zeal
To overcome the Nemesis of fate;
And yet when thou art gone from me, feel
am captive, thralled and desolate
