Soft haze about the woodland turks,
Disturbs the Ok the slender prod,
And Annabel the golden rod
From earth with COY abaadon jerks.
The sunach by the meadow burns
No robin charms the garden nook,
And In the forest by the brook
The squirrel skips among the ferns.
And while the Summers weary ghost
Across the valley floats away
think Of theatres and May,
Delmonico's and Quail on toast.

The rabbit by the runnel drtN.ns.

Those sweet, seraphic little gauge

Blue eyes and se,en'button gloves.

And OF the sparkling ginger pop.

That couldn't make our spirits dreop,
