IN THE RAIN OF THE LEAVES.
BY MRS. coRN1E ". LAWS.

BY MRS. coRNIE ". LAWS
We walked through the slanting sunshine,
In the daylights golden wane,
While about us the leaves were falling
In showers of crimson rain.
We walked not as friends-nor as lovers,
But as something that trembled between,
Something that poised like an angel
Well, you only can know what mean.
And over the dull, brown meadows,
Despoiled of the bright summer hours,
The wind rolled in countless surges,
And broke on a strand Of flowers,
Flowers, scarlet and golden,
That edged the grain-ReId around,
Some burning high in the sunshine,
And some blushing low on the ground.
We knew twas the last of the flowers,
And the last Of the sweet summer days;
We knew that world of dead beauty,
Lay under the autumnal haze;
And we walked through the shadows il
silence,
And only our feet on the leaves,
Called forth from their covert the echoes,
Under the glittering trees.
You said, "the chill dews are falling"
ARAyour hand went light to my hair,
So oasof the gray of the forest,
We walked in the starlight fair,
And knew as we wandered homeward.
Through the twilight's dying sheen,
That a sweet and shining angel
Our spirits had come between.
