First-Place Essay
A MOTHER'S LULLABY
Martha Jo Fleischmann
Now does benevolent evening envelope you;
Now is the day become wed to the past;
Now is the hour to ponder and contemplate
Whether the person you were, you've sur-
passed.
Did you embroider your conduct with cour-
tesy?
Manners distinguish the coarse from the fine;
And, was compassion defined by your charac-
ter?
Nothing on Earth more reflects the Divine.

thirdplace; Martha Jo Fleishchmann, first place; and Yevgeniya Rakhkovskaya, third place.
Tell me, today, were you Honesty's advocate;
And, were you Decency's ally besides?
Tell me, would Honor have claimed you her
champion?
These are the sanctums where Virtue abides.
