THE LION

The lion is a kingly beast.
He likes a Hindu for a feast.
And if no Hindu he can get,
The lion-family is upset.

He cuffs his wife and bites her ears
Till she is nearly moved to tears.
Then some explorer finds the den
And all is family peace again.
Vachel Lindsay

Which of the following two is YOU.

     PRESCIENCE

I went to sleep smiling,
I wakened despairing -
Where was my soul,
On what terror-path faring?
What grief shall befall me,
By midnight or noon,
What thing has my soul learned
That I shall know soon?
Margaret Widdemer

                                                            
A WASTED DAY

I spoiled the day;
Hotly, in haste,
All the calm hours
I gashed and defaced.

Let me forget,
Let me embark
- Sleep for my boat -
And sail through the dark.

Till a new day
Heaven will send,
Whole as an apple,
Kind as a friend.
Frances Cornford
