AUGUST DAYS...

AUGUST by Jean Blewett (1862-1934) Canadian writer and poet. Her first novel was  "Out of the Depths" . She won 600$ in 1896 from the Chicago Times Herald for her poem "Spring"

God in his own right hand

doth take each day

Each sun-filled day

Each rare and radiant night,

And drop it softly....

On the earth

and say:

"Touch earth with Heaven's own beauty and delight..."

Earth to the 20th Century....

"You cannot take from out my heart the growing, The green sweet growing,

and vivid thrill. You should be old. 

Not glowing with youth and all youth's strength and beauty still"

                          - Jean Blewett
