MEMORIES: 2, by                    
First Line: Whenever I hear a bluebird sing
Last Line: Those glorious happy other days?
Subject(s): Memory; Wellesley College; World War I; First World War


Whenever I hear a bluebird sing
On a wall where trailing ivies cling,
Whenever I see a grey-blue sky
Shadowed with cloudlets scurrying by,
. . . I wonder if, in the shrapnel's shriek,
When the booming guns to the trenches speak,
If you too see in a golden haze
Those glorious happy other days?
