NOVEMBER TREES

L.r Poets sing OF their ieaiy ;rets,
.Wsec tho tldes of sumner fancies swell,
And rock their thoughts as tropic breeze
Rocks the Dee IN li'y's bell.
Bat give me a harp whose ring Is sharp.
Tuned for November melodies;
That may roam the bleak hills alone
And ring of he brown and leafess trees
The gray old trees, the naked trees
The leahess autumn trees Tor me.
Ta.,, branches are bare 10 the twilight DARK,
Cola and bare when the moon Is high
~ tho cordage and nasss of a stranded bark
That warp and freeze IN poar SKY.
There 10 never leaf that the sky-born thief
Did not hurry away ere It's color was gone
Int the branches bare 20 me are rs iair
As the naked forms Of the Parthenon-
The graceful trees-the gnarlcd trees -
The wind-stripped autumn trees for me.
Where the branches part IN the dusky wood
The golden mist of the sunset streams,
And tracts of starlit solitude
Glimmer at night on a world of dreams
The wind is chill on the rugged hill,
And the early snow is gathering lfraught
But the winter is nought, for their bo1ghs are
With the flow of sap, and the hope Of spring
The patient trees-the hopeful trees
Biding the hour that sets them free.
@. Patriots! whom the tyrant's hate
O'ershadows like the winter drear,
While like the patient trees ye want,
Freedom-the nations Spring-ls near.
Never despair, though the darkening air
Sweep all your summer leaves away
The wind NAV rifle your branches BARE
The leaves Will burst anew in May [trees,
On the bossoming trees-the Joyous
In the glorious spring of Liberty

walls of dark red rock which form the cape are
several hundred feet in hight, and the wild

them TO ar elevation OF 1000 feet.
