Fleecy clouds are driving high;

Ho, for windy weather!
Eastward moves a mackerel sky;
Ho, for windy weather!
Ere the crested billows come
Heaving in with crowns of foam,
Sailor, set your course for home.
Ho, for windy weather!

Haul the boats up high and dry;
Ho, 't is windy weather.
Ballast on the beach must lie

When 't is windy weather.
Hark! the wind begins to moan;
Soon the beach will screech and groan
With the billows overthrown.

Ho, for windy weather!

How the billows boom and roar!
Ho, for windy weather!
How they sweep along the shore!
Ho, for windy weather!
Foam flakes fly, spindrift stings;
Gulls beat by on baffled wings;
Over all the tempest sings

Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Ho! for windy weather!

[The New Witness] DIONYSIA

BY WILFRED CHILDE

In the rich wine-land ruddy with the fall.

Where churches stand with slender towers on fire

With fretted carven work of strange desire

Above the steep towns, clustered high over all,

Bacchus revisiting the land of the gods, Deserting Hellas and her vales of love To scan these new strange regions

where the dove

Was said to reign, after strange periods
Of ruin and disaster, came at eve
All floral with warm fires and hung
with green

Out of the golden west to some de

mesne

Where dancers trampled the vats and loth to leave

Sprang nude amid the throng, who, mouths agape,

Watched him beneath red feet tread out the grape.

[The London Mercury]

TO E. G.

BY AUSTIN DOBSON

Were I to pause and hesitate
For something 'picked,' 'alembicate,'
I might, by chance, no further get
Than mere parade of epithet;
So I'll just wish to You and Yours
Strength to achieve while strength
endures;

And, when the power to do is done,
Remembered radiance of the sun!

BUT IT IS BETTER TO BUILD WELL
Five small houses have been designed by registered architects for
