STRANGE PEACE
By LUCILLE SANDBERG
Far hills are bathed in snowy shades
...
A strange peace comes with itThe winds hush, and the only thing that's heard And I find that lingering doubtIs the saucy song of a cactus wren. Is gone; that bitterness fades.So might begin a desert morn .
. .
The day of the desert is born,And, as such a day is born, I, too, am reborn.
