THE PATH THROUGH THE SUN
FLOWERS.

I came up through the sunfowers at dewy
even;
My lover was waiting to meet me
Oh, earth is fairer far than heaven.
But never again shall greet thee.
The sunf1owers wave their golden heads,
And the mellow moonilght.s streaming
And like some gem in the ocean DeoS
My lovers eyes are softly cleaning
The wind comes up from the south to
night
And it breathes sigh through the field
of flowers:
My soul is filled with new delight,
This sweet, strange happlness.of ours.
His lips meet mine with reverent care,
Yet with an air OF proud possession;
And now his heart he has lain bare,
And of his love he's made confession.
o wind, sing low in plying Strain!
Long years ago l had lover;
Bear away on thy bosom this haunting re
frain,
In Ethiop's darkness let it hover.
The night is one of beauty rare,
The moonbeams on US tenderly SHINE,
And [ say with the abandon of dispalr,
Just for tonight, dear. will be thine. .
You say. ~ love-" and paint a future
bright:
Ilet a thrill of JOY run through me.
For moment my heart Is once more
light.
A heaven on earth is opened to me.
| am again at summer noon,
When an August sun IS burning;
Bright flower of the sun, We droOp toe
soon.
Hast thou been cast aside with spurning:
Ye raise your heads with dauntless pride
Poor. hot, tired things, to the suns fact
turning,
But know your faith has sicked and died
And your heart is filed with restless
yearning.
Ny beloved was naught but the gayes'
rover,
A woman's soul his most priced earning
And the gates of heaven have closed ovel
Since these precious truths l have beer
learning.
But when Indian summer comes on apace
And the prairies seem like golden sea,
And Whit from the Gulf stream kissed
my face,
These dreams:of the past return to me.
When the sun sinks to rest in all his
glory,
On couch, opalescent and purple and
gold,
Pm reading again the pitifui story,
And the heart within me grows hard
ened and cold.
And when spring comes I forget not the
vision;
Relentless / tread on the flowers of the
sun:
So lost to my soul are all things elysian,
OF mercy, forbearance, my heart haiti
none.
