A Dream of Autumn,

Mellow hazes lowly trailing
Ger the wood and meadow, yelling
somber skies, with swallows sailing,
Sailor-like, TO foreign lands;
And the north wind overlapping
Summers brink, and flood-like sweeping
Wrecks of roses where the weeping
Willows swing their helpless hands.
Flaunted high, like torches fiinging
flakes OF flame and embers, springing
From the vale the trees stand swinging
In the moaning atmosphere;
While in dead'ning lands the lowing
OF the cattle, sadder growing,
Fills the sense to overflowing
With the sorrow OF the year.
Fields OF ragged stubble, tangled
With rank weeds, and shocks OF tangled
Corn, with crests like wet plumes daneled
Ger the harvest 8 battle plain; .
And the sudden whirr and whistle
OF the quail that, like missile,
Whizzes over thorn and thistle,
And, q missile, drops again.
Muflled voices hid in thickets
Where the redbird stops to stick its
Ruddy beak between the pickets
OF the truant's rustic trap;
And sound OF laughter ringing
Where, within the wild vine swinging,
Climb Bacchante's scoolmates fiinging
Purple clusters in her lap.
Rich as wine the sunset flashes
Round the tilted world, and dashes
Up the sloping west and splashes
Its red foam against the sky,
Till my dream of autumn, paling
In the splendor all prevailing,
Like sallow lest goes sailing
Down the silence solernnly.

Is IL So7

To long for and possess not,
Remember and regret not,
Mayhap, indeed, caress not,
But ever to forget not,
Is''better than enough.
A little song for singing,
A little time for signing.
A summer swallow bringing
Some word of loves replying,
Is better than enough.
The end of all our dreaming
Is surely but awakipg;
And sweet and subtle seeming,
Fulfllment overtaking,
Is bitter and enough.
