If our idle chitter chatter

We'd dismiss it with a shrug and let

This cannot be. lightly treated;

COUNTRY BLACKOUT
The only lamps
We cannot hide
Here in the: sleeping
Countryside
Are little lanterns
With a thin
I]'lumination
Darting in
And out the trees,
And down the meadow,
Playing tag
With every shadow—
These, I fear.
We seldom should
Hurry to darken,
If we eould.
—Elaine V: Ennans.
PEONY
A mightybush, the peony,
Is bound, so long as it exists.
To give up blossoms, just like this,
This white ,this red, this white -red
mix.
And heavy as the blossoms are,
And giant beauties as they grow.
Believe me, they have traveled far,
They are not tied below.
Their petals, made up of a cloud
`That drifted, broke, and fell. apart,
Even here retain a murky glow
Like moonlight on a cap of snow.
-And in the leaves there is the stain
Of many waters as if the rain
Fluctuated in the sea
And came back in the peony.
And those of us who itch to pick

SUMMER EVENING
White moths clings
With whirring wings;
Street light flickers through.
Silver leaves
Of poplar trees
Draw the moonbeams, too.
Breathing low,
The lilacs. blow
Thoughts which lovers keep.
Plaintive loon .
Cries to the moon—
Hush! The world's asleep.
