Fog.
BY ISER.

o. all-peryading, all-enshrouding fog,
Art thou the feecy hair of that dire dog
Whose days, but now, We celebrate, and whence
Didst emanate and how come hither thence?
Unreal mockery of rainy days,
Hast thou no care for washerwomen's ways?
No thought for island parties doomed to wait.
And picnic luncheons Wondering on the plate?
Or art thou some Undine, soft and broad,
Coli, clammy bride seeking reluctant lord,
Treading the weeping shores with noiseless feet
And haunting furtively the dripping street?
Take hin, fair spirit, to the swelling main,
And let us have the blessed Sun again.
