A RNS: ON ALE WO A AB
AN OLD INFLUENCE.
BY ETHELWYN WETHERALD,
A child, T saw familiar things
In sweet imagined guise;
The stars were angels’ eyes,
Rot so today; the grassless ways
Of olden years invite
No wings to whiten common days,
No eyes to hallow night.
Yet when with grief my heart is loud,
Or mean thoughts leave thelr scar,
1 feel reproach from every eloud,
Reproach from every star
