AUGUST IN VIRGINIA

While Summer dreams
w. mvrtles hold high carnival, their
flowers
,re crapy lanternss bursting into
showers
q, cav confetti, lilac white and red.
~ Tne somber ivy, STOPPING from it's
height.
Opens pale, pointed buds and soft
aired night
Brings perfume pilfered from the
alder's bed.
Deep In the woods
Cool-fingered Autumn creeps all
stealthily
To spy on Summer, never dreaming,
she,
The tell-tale leaves would flame the
news ahead.

ried the oremated ashes of Kirov
reyerently across now-encrusted
Red Square and placed them in the
Kremlin wall mausoleum of the
Soviet great.
Hardly had Stain finished plac.
ing the ashes in the crypt, than the
tone changed and maSsed bands
broke into stirring, aggressive
military march and prize batal-
ion of red army infantry marched
through the square.
There was two hours of funeral
oratory, during which thousands
stood massed in the square. silent
except for the stamping of feet
against the intense cold.
Then out of the haze appeared a
military formation of 64 airplanes.
They flew low over Red Square,
their laundering motors a symbol
of the Soviet feeling Of power
Swiftly they disappeared into opal
escent clouds.
Kirov's widow and family, with
Stain and other high leaders, des.

the urn and walked slowly through
