The breeze has ceased to shake<br \/>\nThe elms bare boughs that, shining wet,<br \/>\nGold halos for the are lites make.<br \/>\nThe road is lost in deepest dark<br \/>\nSave where the puddle holds a star<br \/>\nIn polished onyx. In the night<br \/>\n No creature moves, but from afar,<br \/>\nBy distance muffled, tranquil, soft<br \/>\nIts notes slow dropping from the tower,<br \/>\nHeavy as raindrops from the trees,<br \/>\nThe town clock tolls the midnight hour.<br \/>\nWith bated breath I pause and wait,<br \/>\nThrilled and expectant, March came in<br \/>\nWith snow and sleet and roaring wind<br \/>\n With so much noise. In the din<br \/>\nOf storm and rain all month, she seemed<br \/>\nIn travail. Now she quiet lies.<br \/>\nI listen thru the silence, sure<br \/>\n Of April&#8217;s feeble newborn cries. <\/p>\n<p>This poem was copywritten by the Curtis Publishing Co. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nellie Adelaide McKenney was born December 24, 1902 in Pine County, MN, and died January 24, 1954 in San Francisco, CA.
