Page 2 The UMSL Current January 18, -1973 The Gift These hands brought a gift, a gift of these hands; these hands that never drew life from stone, nor set precioIiS jewels in golden mounts, these hands never sowed colors to canvas, - nor seed to ground, thJse hands, strangers to woodsman's axe, boatman's oar, these hands brought a gift of love, nothing more. With mind united these hands took paper and pen, with love in heart these hands began, no music sweet to composer's ear, no horns, nor reeds, nor strings, nor drums, nor from piano did chords resound, in heart strings was melody found, the harmony two parts, the instru- ments two hearts. With joy was the song begun, with joy to be sung, no dirge, no sad lament, for young voices, spring's breath, young voices never touched by death, young voices who've coaxed the dove to nest, for young voices was the song meant. With heels that flew over stone and ground, to appointed place outside the town, these hands their gift bore, but in vain was the beneficiary sought. These hands with face inbetween, Isolated efforts on these hands rinsed with tears the sunlight gleams, these hands strangers of knife, gun, and sword, through these hands a river poured, demand attention flowing clear and sweet as morning dew, floJVing red and deep, these hands will bear gifts iw more. "No man is an island, entire of itself;~ yet UMSL is com prised of islands--individuals working for individual goals.
