WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1923 With Our Own | Poets THE CRY OF THE SHADOWS Forth they all go with faces bright Out from the sunshine into night, 'To fight for right and never cease Till to the world they bring true peace. 'And we at home, we hide our fear, ~~ In secret shed we many a tear, 'No blessing they shall ever lack i That we can give, if they come back. 'And some come back, but some they la In "Flanders Fields" for aye, for i aye, 'But both went forth to do their mite | To bring to earth sweet peace and right. i i 'We'll raise to them a tribute true ~ With high mast mounting in the ; blue, Flying the flag for which some died 'Their names below it side by side! The lads they smile, with faces glad. The dead boys' shadows are not sad, They know their names will stand in : stone, dear brave shadows we have known. eR kamal ® RHR {But time goes by, no tributes: stand 'To keep them loved in their own : : These f land, {The shadowy line of faces bright 't Fades backward _ into darkening } night. The living go "and take their place {In life's stern, earnest upward race, Not this, the dear young shadows' lot, {They stand and murmur "They for- i got." i Anonymous. FLORIDA AN' OL' FOLKS Down here in care-free Florida i. Where the "OI' folks" love to come tAn' lounge around (as comfy like) i Just lookin' in the sun. {Where the palms are softly blowing ~~ In an easy southern breeze, 'An' the air's chuck full of fragrance From the flowers of orange trees. Where there's no sich thing as strang- ers, Everybody welcomes you "With a cheery, kind "good mornin'" Or a smilin' 'Howdy do." (An, the mockin' birds keep singin' I Sweetest music all the while, In this dreamy, soothin' atmosphere, Beckoning "Ol folks get together, Where, lulled by music in the parks, They forget there's northern weather. While the wind up north is howlin' To a blizzard's sleet an' snow, An the mercury's dropped B'low zero, Keeps on slippin' down, you know. Furnace fires actin' vill'ous, Fer the coal don't seem to burn If the water pipes are frozen Keepin' warm's your real concern. Aint it mighty satisfyin' As we sprawl out on the sand, That Sunny Florida's next to heaven, Fer the "Ol Folks," aint it grand? Uncle Frank. Florida, 3/16/23.
