MARCH
March is a wind that blows no
ill;
A hurricane on an uptossed hill;
A bully, a braggart, a searcher
lor strife;
Wrath of a husband, anger of
wife.
March is a pruner of Nature’s
trees;
A vacuum sweeper for old dried
leaves.
A tease, a torment, all surging
youth:
Laughs at illusion and shakes
out truth;
March is a day of wind and
cloud,
Sifting the earth in land new
plowed;
A laugher, a soother, a shriek
ing pest—
Knowing no law but his own
swift zest.
March is a time when earth goes
wild;
Or, trembling, tearful, a whimp
ering child.
A sweeper, a duster, while all
earth hums:
Arranging the place for when
April comes.
—Mary Ellen White
ETERNITY
If I should die tomorrow (and I
will—
For each tomorrow, like high
crest of some new hill
Once gained is always here, no
longer out beyond)
(A wanderer, Tomorrow is, a
vagabond)
If I should die tomorrow, do
not cry,
For on a future morrow, you and
I
Will stand, Balboa’s on a last
high peak
And know that this, at last, is
what we seek—
Pacific, endless, God's great
enternity—
And all tomorrows then will
cease, for you and me.
—Mary Ellen White
