VERSES
PINE HILL ON A WINDY DAY Dark pines, tall pines, leaning to the wind, Grey clouds, white clouds, scudding o’er the sky, Green fields, brown fields, gleaming in the sun, Rich gorse, gold gorse, pleasing to the eye. Up hill, down hill, stumbling thro’ the bog, High winds, low winds, bristling with the cold, Crisp scent, clean scent, drifting from the pines, New lambs, twin lambs, quivering to the fold. Long climb, steep climb, rising to the heights, Old lush, green lush, rustling in the breeze, Spring bulbs, gold bulbs, dancing in the grass, Quiet place, still place, nestling in the trees Snow storms, hail storms, sweeping o’er the flat. Far hills, lost hills, misting in the rain, Blue sea. smooth sea, rippling to the tide. Warm sun, pale sun, shining out again. —L.E.E.
