Poetry

The Star

ONE silver star seen through a latticed pane Shines like -a jewel in the velvet sky—

Its small magnificence divinely formed By God's great hand.

One lovely star that cleaves the floor of Heaven And glints across a tracery of leaves, Lights in the slumb'ring spaces of my mind

A memory . . CONSTANCE JENKINS.
