The Way

NELSON DREXEL FRISBY

Except your pen should gild a thought with beauty;Except your soul should sing within your song;Excepting that your inmost sense of dutyShould strive the tone of goodness to prolong;Excepting, in a word, your heart's desireWere honestly to give the world its due,Far better, heart, to quench the hidden fire,Than, speaking, thus bring more of ill to view.

Poem

A Weaver

LILLIAN BARKER DURKEE

From day's early dawning till night's dusky fingersLet down o'er a weary world curtains of gloom,A weaver, designing his life's varied pattern,Was toiling and weaving at time's heavy loom;His shuttle was filled with the gay, brilliant colorsOf youth's luring passions, ambitions, and love;And into a rainbow-hued fabric he wove them,With never a shade from the gray clouds above.
