A RED FOX. BY GERTRUDE CLOSE, AGE T3.(PRIZE, CLASS C, WILD CREATURE PHOTOGRAPHY.) O vague sky, vague sea, With waves that flee To a distant lea,Is it a hinterland, on seas unruly,Or some cold winter-land, Ultima Thule, That beckons me ? Swift ship with sails like wings of gull or albatross, What… … So oft doth haunt thy sails, to urge thee to some shoal,Or mayhap to a dim-remembered goal ? O vague sky, vague sea, With waves that flee To a distant lea,Is it a fair Southland, lovely with flowers,Or some strange, uncouth land, where the ice towers, That beckons me ?
