The Spike or Victoria College Review 1938
Jean
Jean
You are like a cool stream
that, beautiful and calm,
flows on unhurried
gathering beauty from the fields and woods
in lovely peace
yet breaking into rippled laughter
joyous and gay
as when you danced light-heartedly
from sunlit mountain snows:
and though you smile so secretly
you cannot hide that laughing heart.
Laughter and beauty and love—
like a cool stream
that I loved.
