Great Falls Elementary Schools

Great Falls Elementary schools

At Emerson all the children have

Transparent Eyeballs


At
Whittier they are snowbound, cheerless

and gray; December days are brief


At
Lowell they wait for rare

perfect Junes with golden spurs


At Longfellow They sing of Hiawatha

with simple and fresh hearts


In
Montana they all ride the yellow

school bus with poetic winter spirits


to bardic-named schools, appellations

carved in granite like tombstones.
