ts BREAKFAST IN THE SKY. +
♦ FFffFiFFf + ffF-f
(By Garnet Noel Wiley.)
The little moon puts on a bib
Made out of misty cloud,
And, if she spills her share of rain
It’s just what she’s allowed.
Th>e very hungry baby stars
Arise before the day
To fill their shiny mugs with cream
From off the milky way.
The little dipper feeds the moon;
The big one feeds the sun;
But he is never satisfied.
For when his meal is done
He drinks the dewdrops off the grass,
And in a single hour
He empties all the breakfast cups
k Held by each thirsty flower.

•* HEARTS THAT ARE GREAT. ♦
♦♦ ♦ ♦
Herats that are great beat never loud,
They muffle their music when they
come;
They hurry away from the thronging
crowd
With bended brows and lips half
dumb.
And the world looks on and mutters—
“ Proud.”
And when great hearts have passed
away
Men gather in awe and kiss their
-shroud,
And in lov.e kneel around their lap.
Hearts that are great are always
alone,
They never manifest their best;
,Their greatest greatness is un
known—
Earth knows a little—God the rest.
