We hear the cricket's ceaseless song,
| These dreamy days;
| While hills afar are dim and blue
| In robes of haze;
And summer waves a last adieu
| With saddened face;
| While Autumn slowly comes along
In stately grace.
Where are the vines, the pumpkins vine:
| that lately bloomed and stood
In brighter light, and softer airs, a beauteou
brotherhood?
