REWARD.

What shadow winnowed through the skiesAnd paused on Earth’s grey rim?The stars ran to their windowsTo catch a glimpse of Him.One in his haste fell foremost,A sudden splash of flame—Ah! eager little AsteroidThy folly was thy aim!Oh! ye who stretch forth sturdy handsTo stay Art’s toppling Ark,Though you have saved the cherubim,Receive your meed of Dark.Eugene R.

What shadow winnowed through the skies

And paused on Earth’s grey rim?

The stars ran to their windows

To catch a glimpse of Him.

One in his haste fell foremost,A sudden splash of flame—Ah! eager little AsteroidThy folly was thy aim!

One in his haste fell foremost,

A sudden splash of flame—

Ah! eager little Asteroid

Thy folly was thy aim!

Oh! ye who stretch forth sturdy handsTo stay Art’s toppling Ark,Though you have saved the cherubim,Receive your meed of Dark.

Oh! ye who stretch forth sturdy hands

To stay Art’s toppling Ark,

Though you have saved the cherubim,

Receive your meed of Dark.
