What mark to aim at, how to use the bow,--
Then draw it to the head and let it go!

_Capricornus_--The Goat.
The goat looks solemn, yet he likes to run,
And leap the rocks, and gambol in the sun:
The truly wise enjoy a little fun.

_Aquarius_--Water.
"Like water spilt upon the ground,"--alas,
Our little lives flow swiftly on and pass;
Yet may they bring rich harvests and green grass!

_Pisces_--The Fishes.
Last of the sacred signs, you bring to me
A word of hope, a word of mystery,--
_We all are swimmers in God's mighty sea._

February 28, 1918.
