The Coconino sun., 1922-07-07

Ana clOuOS WneTe the sun SnOuiu Dt :! l know that the fog is only veil, To hide the sun kissing the sea. And if there are crusts for dinner, Or water where I'd have wine, I blithely partake of this simple fare, For I've earned it all, and it's mine. For the crust may be hiding cake,

 As the fog is hiding the sea, And like to think that behind each
 veil,
 Is happy adventure for me.
