COMRADES GEORGE EDWARD WOODBERRY

THE FLIGHT GEORGE EDWARD WOODBERRY

HOME BOUND THE moon is a wavering rim where one fish slips,

The water makes a quietness of sound; Night is an anchoring of many ships Home bound.

There are strange tunnelers in the dark, and whirs Of wings that die, and hairy spiders spin The silence into nets, and tenanters Move softly in.

I step on shadows riding through the grass, And feel the night lean cool against my face; And challenged by the sentinel of space, I pass.

JOSEPH AUSLANDE

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL

O BEAUTIFUL for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet, Those stern, impassioned stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness! America! America! God mend thine every flaw, Confirm thy soul in self control, Thy liberty in law!
