Forbid, dear Lord, that any one + of them be lost from the way in his search for the light. + Go before them and let light from above + make their pathway bright.

Hear the thumping of the drums + How they beat and beat and beat, + In the morning and at night, + Hear the tramping, marching feet, + All in line stepping fine + Hear the praying from the firesides down the street. + + Hear the roaring of the trains, + Speeding trains + With the rumbling. Shouting home-boys off to war! + Now they travel to far shores. + See them waving their good-byes, + There's the girl that Joe adores + Waving hand, smiling band! + Hear the laughter from the windows and the doors. + + + + +DEAR POSSESSIONS + + + A loaf of bread with a glass of milk + With a roof that shelters and a restful bed, + A place to wear the faded silk + And a pillow for the aching head; + + A kettle that sings while the night wind sighs, + And a cup of tea to drink; + A hearth to sweep and a babe that cries, + With a pile of dishes in the sink. + + A home to keep and a man to love, + With a heart that is true and fine. + These precious things sent from heaven above, + Will be prized for yours and for mine. + + + + +THE UNBIDDEN TEARS + + + Glad tears that rush like rivers down the cheek + Like gilding gold of morning's amber light. + O happy hearts, by hearths when wills are meek! + We welcome sun that chased away the night. + The weeping eyes will not acknowledge hate. + When lovers meet forgiven after pain, + Tears cleanse the heart and mind of fire and mote, + And freshen countenance and bleach the stain. + O rain of peace, that washes doubt away, + And casts a burden from the heart and home. + Sad hearts in joy united on this day; + Now buds will bloom again in garden loam. + Glad tears that come unbidden thus and free + Have banished care and brought you back to me. + + + + +THE PROMISE OF SPRING + + + Today resplendent in red, grays and gold, + No wind disturbs the calm of Winter's rest, + But quiet and serene on earth's broad breast + Is shrub and bush and seed in loamy hold; + The buds on elm are waiting to unfold, + Our biddie hen wears crimson on her crest. + This gorgeous day, when children laugh and jest, + And run and dance and not a thought withhold. + + For Winter's frost was gone at early noon. + We know that Spring will come on southern breeze; + The grass will green and roses bloom again. + We love the flowers, summer warmth and boon, + O joy of earth, in green and swaying trees, + In buds and bees on this broad prairie plain. + + + + +THE DAYS LIVE AGAIN + + + O hallowed charm of long departed days; + The good and bad blend in a sparkling stream. + If one recalls youth's glad and care free ways; + The distant roar of music is supreme, + When viewing life's almost forgotten trail. + There is a stream that twines its way about + Through shady spots, by broken, rotted rail. + The falling water glitters, and the trout, + Again, like precious memories, flash and dart. + Through bleak and cold, a precipice once crossed + Still fills with pride and pain the aging heart; + For time has now the thorns and rocks embossed, + And thus the long dead past is always bright, + For those whose sun is sinking into night. + + + + +ROLLING TRUCKS + + + Rolling over desert sands + Steady there are dough-boy's hands. + Gliding past the silver sage + Caring naught for fame or wage; + Rolling trucks for Uncle Sam, + In his kit are bread and ham. + Slipping over moon-lit dunes + Humming low the old men's tunes. + Every moment plays the game, + Like an iron in a flame. + Rolling over desert sands, + Steady there are dough-boy's hands. + + + + +AT DUSK + + + A low blue cloud lies stretched beyond the trees, + All quiet so. The chant of birds uplifts, + And through the evening dusk a tremor sifts, + The chill of night creeps close with turning keys, + And darkness soothes each child. The daylight flees, + Though many voices lend their artful gifts, + And mingle with the city's murmured rifts. + While twilight covers all with mysteries, + There is the roll of train or army truck; + A mother calls her three year old within. + The most of us preparing for the night; + Some go their way to labor for their luck, + And others toil that we may rest or spin. + God guards the whole until the morning light. + + + + +THE MORNING + + + The morning freshened with the dew of night, + Was glad with crowing cock and singing bird; + And through the mists came hope and kindly word. + The east aglow with early amber light. + As perking coffee roused the hungry sprite; + Beside the hearth a friendly pussy purred, + And in a crib a blue-eyed baby stirred, + Awakened from sweet slumber of the night. + O dawning! Here with all her usual charm. + Another day to toil for child and friend, + One hour to praise our God, while hatreds ebbed; + To hope and live and succor from all harm + Those weaker ones who know not how to fend, + And cast a beam that lights their way ahead. + + + + +O RIVER BANK + + + I love to loiter by the old oak tree, + Where waters ripple over clean white stones, + And cresses, mint with feathered fern grown high. + In such a place the peaceful thoughts will come; + There is no hurry there where nature plays. + Soft gentle breezes wave the grass and sedge; + White fluffy clouds pass overhead and roll. + Now dreaming, I hear the cricket's gay song. + O river bank you charm me always so. + + + + +THERE WILL COME A DAY + + + There will come a day, sometime, + When a bright light will shine through + The clouds of darkness, sometime. + And the grass will grow anew; + Glad bells will ring at the dawn; + And at noon great horns will blow; + At evening fear will be gone; + The home lights through dusk will glow. + It will be a joyous day! + And the earth will shout with laughter, + When world peace is made, some day. + We can hear the birds thereafter. + + + + +LATE AUTUMN + + + The fragrant autumn winds float painted leaves + Across the plains at sunset's evening hour, + A scarlet rose, a zinnia in the flower + Stand brilliant there beneath the cottage eaves. + The locust hums his song, the spider weaves + His silken web in every shady bower, + Where thunder clouds pile high in tumbled tower; + The farmer's loft is bursting with great sheaves; + And cornstalks bend with heavy golden loads, + For rains have blessed the land the summer long. + Now children trip on winding trails from school; + They swing in rhythmic time along the roads; + A hungry, hearty crowd, suntanned and strong. + This glorious fall day in evening cool. + + + + +ALL HAIL RED CROSS + + + All hail Red Cross! White robes of light, all hail! + On brave and noble brows the symbol shines. + A cry for help is never called in vain, + For these courageous ones go everywhere, + On sea or land, in sun and stormy sky. + They face all dangers--carry succor forth + To save their fellowmen--with speed and skill + The aid goes out to rescue friend and foe. + They know no enemy but heed each call. + A line is thrown to stranded waif or man. + In flood they rush like water down the slope + To bring relief to those who toss in waves. + They care for mothers left to starve, alone. + In pestilence, they labor long to soothe + The fevered brow and ease the gnawing pain + With medicine and shelter, food and clothes. + In war the wound is dressed and duly nursed + With gentle supple hands--with nourishment + For mind and body. Cross of red, all hail! + They serve for us most willingly and well. + Then chide themselves when they have come too late! + Like mothers when their sons have fallen short; + In early dawn and through the night they toil. + O God do bless this noble work of love; + Let's give and further this most worthy cause. + All hail Red Cross! White robes of hope, all hail! + + + + +OUR MORNING PRAYER + + + God our Father give us strength + In these days of selfish strife, + Let us smile amid the pain, + Now to meet the care of life + In the sunshine and in rain. + + + + +SOLDIER TO HIS MOTHER + + + Remembering those happy days of youth-- + The earth was filled with gladness then, + And you, dear Mother, taught me love and truth, + Taught me to seek the best in men. + + With heart full of faith and noble thought + To bear my load and do good deeds. + And cherish worthy things, the hope not bought, + With visions for the living needs. + + You said be honest with my God and soul, + Devoted to my land and home, + And all that men hold dear. In loyalty + Respect and prize the fertile loam. + + Today my country calls, she needs her son + To fight the Japs and Hitler too. + No coming back until the job is done. + This is as honest men would do. + + + + +IN THE STORM + + + Hear the gale roaring through the woods! + Trees bend and snap and sway; + They race and break on this dark day. + If I could fashion some sturdy hoods + To hold the storm at bay, + Then trim and straight would all trees stay. + But great trees knotted by winds' moods, + Like men who face their care, + Stand scarred yet stanch and bravely there. + + + + +TO US + + + O petty trifles! Why cling to us so? + Our time in doing small things quite consumed, + And hearts protected like earth worms encased, + Always singing childish songs, sol me do, + And crawling safe in shady vales below, + Like snails advancing, scoff and hurt endured, + Dead there upon the rack, no port secured. + O brother plant, some grains of corn will grow! + The faithful farmer sows live fertile seed. + Be not a grub but rise and stretch hands up + When on the height reach down to troubled friend, + And lift your fellowmen, toil not for greed. + Wash out the grounds and fill the empty cup. + The rose will bloom where rocky pathways wend. + + + + +THE FLY AND THE SPIDER + + + The big black fly was in a sorry plight; + She hung and dangled in a spider's web. + It was too late to make a hurried flight. + The sand is sifting and the tides will ebb. + + The spider then drew dose his silken thread, + It was no use to ask the reason why. + He only wished to eat and save his head, + And he must catch his breakfast, or die. + + + + +HER GOOD BYE + + + I love you, Darling, sweetheart mine, + Our troth is pledged, O joy divine! + With apple blossoms in my hair + I hope and breathe a fervent prayer + To keep my trust all down the years, + And love you always through the tears. + O heart of mine, my feet do sing + As down the aisle into the Spring + Of bursting bud and lilac time, + Of budding trees and robin rhyme, + So tenderly, Dear, I love you. + In happiness I go with you + Now in sunshine to follow on + And into dark when you are gone. + Then back again from misty night + And at the dawn in coming light. + At sunup when the Japs are caught + You will come when the battle's fought. + And then glad shouts the whole day long, + With ringing bells 'ten billion strong. + + + + +HILLS AND VALLEYS WAKE + + + My ears have heard the larks at dawn, + Their bright sweet carols sing, + With burst of morning sun + And all the meadows ring. + + My eyes have seen the shining gold, + That rimmed a purple cloud, + And sheets of olive green there spread, + While night puts on a shroud. + + And in the east a moon that gleamed + With grey blue light and sheen, + On misty, drooping willow trees, + O fair and silent scene. + + These are not half the things I see + On lovely nights and brilliant days, + It seems that hills and valleys wake + To make such holidays. + + + + +MORNING THANKSGIVING + + + We thank our God this Autumn day, + As birds are waking in the vale, + For health and strength to walk his way, + Let justice and peace prevail. + And for this food that's waiting here, + Now fill our hearts with faith and love; + And bless our loved ones far and near, + O God, our Father up above. + + + + +OFF TO THE WOODS + + + All nature dons a cool green coat, + Soft breezes blow and white clouds float; + The blue jay screams his piercing note. + + The April sun shines fine today, + And all the world is bright and gay. + Small twinkling leaves now dance and play! + + The Spring has made a grand debut; + And turned up sod is reddish blue, + Where last year's roses bloomed for you. + + And to the woods then let us hie + To gather sorrel for a pie, + And pick some posies from the rye. + + O Daughter come, a walk is free, + Lock up the house and bring the key; + For sing we must in joy and glee. + + + + +THE HAPPY CAMPERS + + + Burning brush + In morning hush + While bacon fragrance floats. + + Daylight dreams + Along bright streams + With knapsack and light coats. + + Wind blown hair, + They march and share + And sing the happy notes. + + + + +THE PROMISE + + + O Glendolyn, the life of my being, + O Darling, the good in your heart! + Bright eyes in the flash of a moment + Grow sad as the time nears to part, + Tears well in the midst of the laughter, + Unbidden as the showers in Spring. + Although the days cloud, but after + The future will brighten and sing. + + O Glendolyn, weep not at my going, + The weary long hours will pass; + And dawn with its flame and a promise + Will touch the grey sod and dry grass. + The elm in the garden will flower + And the hills on the plains be shining. + That day, then the battle is over, + I will come with swift feet, my Darling. + + + + +IN REFLECTION + + + In the morning of my youth + When my veins were full of strength + There was Dad and Mom to say + What to do. They spoke at length. + + Did I listen to the truth? + Much of it has passed me by. + Now if only some one would + Speak to me and tell me why. + + + + +MEN MUST TOIL + + + We wakened in the morning + The wind had blown up cold; + And too, the oaks were grumbling + Like men agrowing old. + + We must all work this morning, + Though rough and harsh outside, + Men labor in the storming + For all must eat betide. + + + + +THAT CLOSE DRAWN VEIL + + + If we could lift that close drawn veil and see, + The anxious hours might pass in rest and sleep. + But wait! Could men but sow and counting reap? + Who would toil on when knowing loss must be? + No wild glad hoping with expectancy! + And wooing lover then might he not weep? + The fortune which would grieve--no shop to keep. + Enough. Man can climb higher and be free. + Leave be the veil and let men struggle through. + Let roots strike down and seek the growing needs; + And living stock stretch up toward the sun + With life and hope. Then let men work and woo, + Not anchorless, nor tumbling drift as weeds. + Fulfilment in the end and laurel won. + + + + +OUR MORNING LESSON + + + Love our neighbors as ourselves, + May we fit in where we can, + Love our God and praise his name + Is God's law for mortal man. + + + + +WHEN THE BOYS COME HOME + + + Bright smiles and many tear drops + Are begging loved ones stay; + For not all soldier boys come home + When bugles call today. + + Brave lassies wait, toiling, hoping, + And keep the hearth brushed clean, + The home fires glowing brightly + With all about serene. + + The heart grows weary often, + For hours and days are long. + But when the fight is over + The land will ring with song. + + With all the maidens singing + The full and happy notes, + While men go shouting, marching, + At sight of khaki coats. + + And Main Street pushing, crowding, + Will be a surging stream, + For when this war is over + Our joy will be supreme. + + + + +THE PRESS OF FLOZARI + +COLOPHON + +This is number 103 of the Torchbearers' Chapbooks, printed by hand at +the Pegasus Studio, from hand-set 10 point Century on Eggshell book +paper, in an edition of 106 copies and the type distributed. + + + Copies may be secured from the author, at 75c each, postpaid + Clara M.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
