I Shall Keep My Joy

HAZEL HARPER BRANDNER

I shall keep my joy as a gladsome birdThat nests in the heart of me;At the red of dawn ere the lark is heardIt will sing in exuberant glee,     For joy is highest praise expressed—     The rhythm of Spirit made manifest.
Poem

On Upward Wing

F. INA BURGESS

The aviator points his planeFor lofty flight through clouds and rain;A gray, forbidding sky is spreadAcross that pathless space ahead,And bitter blasts with savage stingsBeat on his upward-soaring wings.
