 ENVOY

HERMIONE, THE DEATHLESS

She will not die!—in Brainstorm Slum
 * Fake, Nut and Freak Psychologist

Eternally shall buzz and hum,
 * And Spook and Swami keep their tryst
 * With Thinkers in a Mental Mist.

You threaten her with Night and Sorrow?
 * Out of the Silences, I wist,

More Little Groups will rise tomorrow!

The lips of Patter ne'er are dumb,
 * The Futile Mills shall grind their grist

Of sand from now till Kingdom Come;
 * The Winds of Bunk are never whist.
 * You scowl and shake an honest fist—

You threaten her with Night and Sorrow?
 * Go slay one Pseudo-Scientist,

More Little Groups will rise tomorrow!

With Fudge to feed the Hungry Bum
 * She plays the Girl Philanthropist—
