MEMORIES: 2 by CLAIRE MORRIS GANNON

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?
