THE GRAND CANYON OF ARIZONA

Assn., o f Picher, 0 kla. I n a glamorous land on the top

of the world Where the sky Is an endless

blue, A wedge of heaven has driven

deep And split the earth in two, And torn its face in a jagged

wound All splotched and stained with

b!ood That long since poured from its

riven veins I n a surging ghastly flood.

I stood one day and gazed in awe A t that gaplng, beautiful gash That stretches from dawn to the

setting sun Like the trai l of a dragging lash; And I looked for miles to Its

deepest depths And beheld with m y wondering

eyes The sinuous edge of that mighty

wedge That still presses down from the

skies.

Then I trembled to think of the fearful powers

That buffet the world and me, And I pitied the earth that since

its blrth Has suffered so patiently: Bu4 then I began to understand H o w a life is shaped and steeled, And made bath rugged and beau-

tiful By the scars where Its wounds

have healed.
