Dear Aunt Julia I am sending little
poem for the Poets Corner. l hope you and
the cousins will like it:
COLUMBUS
Across the sea in a wooden boat,
With sails most to the sky,
Columbus sailed with his men so bold,
A new short route to try.
Oh, the sea was rough and the waves were
high,
Till the sailors in the hold below
Thought surely they were lost.
But Columbus, he was stout Of heart
And he did not finch or quail,
But stood on the lookout all the night
Beside the wood deck rail.
| And when his men thought all were lost
And formed a mutinous band.
| Columbus heard the shout aloft,
''Iand! We've sighted laQdI'
And straight they landed on the shore
Where white man ne'er had trod,
| Then knelt and, with reverent heart,
Gave thanks unto their God.
ROSE GROSS.
