The Rhyming
Optimist
By Aline Michaelis,

DY day the old house looks so
dim, so battered and so gray;
- its angles harsh, its windows
grim, its aspect cold-by day. By
day the garden seems so small its
flowers so cheap and few, the gaudy
sunfowers by the wall so gariSh
'gainst the blue. BY day the mar
row pathway leads into the dusty
town, and rank on rank Of pirate
weeds assail its borders brown
But with the night the misty moon
sends down a tender light, and
what by day was out OF tune, Is
harmony-by night. The misty
moons a painter rare, who makes
the old house seem a picture in its
garden fair, q very home O. dream.
And when It's gentle radiance falls
across the rooftree high. II lends a
glory to the walls, a gleam OF rnys-
terry; and-lo!-thc little winding
trail leads through the narrow gate
far, far away by hill and dale where
Great Adventures wait. Within the
tangled garden-close when falls the
moons soft light, the hyscinth, the
rue, the rose grow strangely fair
By night When fragrant deWS
cling thick and wet where lies the
silver mist on pansy and on mig
nonette, the moons al alchemist-
And those clear drops are changed
to gems beneath the magic light, to
pearl and diamond diadems that
crown the fOwers-by night a
painter and an alchemist the float
ing moon whose beams thus cIothe
