MAINE GOSSIP


Winds of the night of shadows blown
from starlesS track.
Whispering there in the darkness, and
the shadows whisper back.
Why must YOU haunt my easement
under the rain wet caves,
With voices of ghosts forgotten in the
rustic of withered leaves?
Winds of the night of sadness, calling
me as YOU creep,
Whispering there in the lowiands.
where the dark Of night is deep;
Crying OF days forgotten, signing for
dreams long sped.
Why must YOU blow gray ghosts again
from the graves of the vanished
dead?
There is voice in the shadows, a voice
from bygone day:
A song from the heart of springtime,
blown from the fields of May:
Clear as the woodland ripple from the
roll of a silver stream.
And the night is sweet with music and
the dark with an old. old dream.
Winds of the night Of winter. here I
have come for rest.
For peace in the gloom of my lone
SOME room as Il bird may seek
it's nest.
Why must you haunt nv easement
under the rain wet caves
With voices of ghosts forgotten in the
rustic Of withered leaves"
Annie Colum in Los Angeles Times.
