WORDLESS
ll.v Fllen I). Masters
Xo word can pass from mc to you,
To light your cuiiuie mind,
] cannot tell you of the hope
Anil solace ol' mankind.
1 know he'll nevr come—and why—
At noon or closc of day:
You know not death. You unly know
Your master is away.
1 look beyond the starry vault,
Where lle..vcnly homes a-wait;
You keep each evening's vigil true,
Till darkness blurs the gate.
15y kindly pat and mute caress
1 feebly try to show,
In silence, how X share with you
Life's tragedy and woe.
Sometime you'll sleep. Perhaps youl'l
have
Avery lovely drcum;
Co bounding down a lealy lane,
A light with stary gleam.
]n answer to a whistled c. II—
Forgetting wordless pain
And days of battled loneliness—»
To greet him—home again.
WINTER VISITORS
By F. U. M. Collier
Cold and white, the snow lies deep.
Dull.- are high, and wild ihc wind
IJnad.- are blocked and neighbors far,
l,..;e a galley slave I'm pinned
C..>.-c within the walls ot home
\\ atching snowbanks whirl to loem.
Loneliness should be my lot
\\i . i :l not I built a tray
i»n :i v window in the fall
Hoping birds would nearby stray
A id taste the suet, crumbs and seed
1 :olt should be their daily mead.
T. iy i-ame at once, the sparrow bold
W in Kngl.sh slock or russet head,
J :e starling and the blue jay gay
With chickadee . nd nuthatch led.
Let wind and frost unleash their
worst
My ua'ds forestall the shut-in's thirst.
