SHOOTING STARS
By ROIE CAMPBELL. Clevedon. (Original.) The heavens are clear and blue tonight and the stars are golden bright, The moon is a silver crescent, with a faintly-silver light; Look to the skies, 0 People of Earth, and watch yon shooting star, Do you not know that Diana, the Huntress, is shooting her foes from afar ? Can you not see her, stepping so soft with her pearly bow at her side? Can you not see all the evil sprites as they hear her and hurry to hide? For her arrows are clusters of golden stars and her aim is straight and true. And her eyes are as clear as crystal and bright as a buttercup's goblet of dew. Fear is hiding in terror and shame in the maze of the " Milky Way," The spirits of evil that darken the sky are silently fleeing away. The pulsating stars in the great heavens above with a gleaming white flame seem alight, For Diana is waging her war on the wrong to bring in the true and the right.
