(As HE TOLD IT TO ME-.
nv MARY ROWLAND.
One Indian Summer afternoon
Its like don't remember
Its dreamy splendor died too soon
Darling of bright September.
The sandy lakeside path we traced,
Birch and maple and aldar grsced
and my hearts elected.
The cleaning sapphire-tinted water
Borrowed a blue that day;
She liked the company we brought her,
Pleaded for us to stay;
She whispered, and gurgled, and tried TO say
"Come, and sail on my bosom away"
And reckoning fingers tossed.
So paused We where the wind-swept roofs
OF the oak and cedar grow,
Where the rustling wave incessant soughs,
And the leaf-strewn bank lies low.
The naples banner colors showed,
Crimson and scarlet and orange glowed,
DDS Russet and green and gold
Within our nook the reclined,
mild and mellow glory
In Ida's hair his fingers twined.
While listening TO my story;
To me Heavens consecrating aid
1t seemed, when tremblingly she said
II give myself to thee"
Did enyious love disquiet seize
At sight of our estate,
TIL ungente spirit of the breeze
For his unwedded fate,
While in his loosening grasp he bare
Russet and gold TO match her hair,
Vermillion for her Hpsg
clasp the dimpled shapely hand,
And death will sometime sever,
God giyeth me the guieless heart
q Forever and forever;
Aids us to smile when darkness lowers,
One life, one fate and fortune ours,
And Heaven g benediction.
