FOR CAPTAIN SCOTT Behind the lovely willow fronds The water shone like air, Further on the bridges flowed O’er the balmy air. The autumn tints took up the song With such a cheery air, And statues sat upon the ground Tranquil in the air. An’ round a bend an angel sang Softly on the air, I could not hear the song he sang ’Pon the perfect air. For one who leans against the sky Smells a winter air; Round his white and winter face Howls the dying air! N. L. GRESSON
