The ideals we cherished And thought to uphold Through life’s sunny weather, Or its bitter cold, Are fast being scattered By blasts of the day, Are crumbling and falling And passing away — Aye, passing away. The plans that we treasured, But never perfected, The joys that we measured By blessings expected; Ah, these were so bright While permitted to stay— To tarry a moment Ere passing away— Aye, passing away. The friends whom to us It seemed were God-given, Too well heard the summons That called them to Heaven; And others as dearly loved, Even, as they, With faces turned upward Are passing away— Aye, passing away. The life we Call ours Is not so, forsooth, And He doth demand it Whose own ’tis, in truth; We’re rendering back to Him, Day after day, The life that so surely Is passing away— Aye, passing away.

Masquerading still? March, thou art full old for such pretense! (Ah, age doth not always lend itself to soberness!) These whirling flakes that hourly grow more bold, This shrieking blast, ’neath which the maples bend; They’re not thine own. Thou stolest them—nay, nay, deny it not!— From Winter, that thou mightst af fright us to believe That thou art fierce December. Hast thou forgot The guise thou didst assume last year? Alluring? Yes, but brief Thy masquerading then, as all thy moods, (legion their name!) Thou earnest then as May, to woo and to enthrall With all her witching grace; and ne’er a thought of shame— I warrant me,thou rogue!—thoucanst recall For blissful hopes that long were dashed to earth Ere thy departure. Knowing thee, March, so well— Ido but laugh at thy dissembling. I yield to mirth Because, despite thy buffeting, the maples tell Os swelling buds; and from some sheltered nook but yesterday I heard the faint, sweet twitter of a bird. And more: The glorious sun, beyond these storm clouds gray, Speeds zenithward. March— Know’st thou ’tis ancient lore That when thou comest as a lion, thou wilt depart E’en as a lamb? Yet what care I for all thy blustering? I love thee, March, yea, love with all my heart, Because thou art the first-born of the Spring. Julia A. Williams. Indianola, lowa.
