On Holy Ground

KATHARINE TEULON BINYON

Tread not with ruthless foot upon the tenderGrowing things: so small they are and slender,So hardly seen they must be sought amongThe stronger herbs—these tiny things so young!Look here again, where gnarled and knotted rootsBecome quite green with probing, fragile shoots!And some, being late, have not begun to showTheir growth, which may seem hesitant and slow—But it is there!
Poem

David

ROSEMARY C. COBHAM

The Israelitish army stood dismayed;Armed Saul strode moodily within his tent;Goliath of Gath between the armies went,In boastful arrogance his strength displayed.
