Poem
by Francis Smith
THE RAIN has dropt
Upon this barren sand
And while its crystal mist
Bedewed this shallow strand
I heard the whispered sobbing
Of this woe-begotten land.
And I heard the echoes calling
Through all the lonely years,
And I watched the shadows falling
As life’s sunset nears.
Then I heard a mighty roaring
Of the twice-thousand marching feet
And I felt the heavens soaring
With the rainfall’s steady beat.
And of this brimming cup
The parched earth quaffed its sup.
Peggy Van Der Cruyssen spotted this bear right outside of her bedroom
window, eating a peach he grabbed off her peach tree.
Kylie Norwood, junior at Catoctin High School, captured a shot of a crow
looking for breakfast on Tybee island, Georgia.
