AUGUST.

Hot amber blooms and fruit-time,
Twixt early showers and frost time,
This oriental sun time,
OF splendid blazGnry.
Glad gold each morning hour,
Creeps over fruit and flower,
Now throbs the years full power,
High tided Ike a sea!
At dawn's flush day rejoices,
A song the wild winds voice is,
This month the summers choice is,
For rest before decay.
Far swim the hurtling swallows,
in swerving swells and hOllows,
The summers spirit follows,
Upon the wings of day.
Days wide blue gulf at incoming.
Burns DER the flowers swooning,
The thin warm winds are grooming
Low listless lullabies.
And It's the great suns pleasure
To pour at kingly leisure,
His wine into earth's measure,
Gold wine from out the skies.
And wind-rocked blossoms golden,
Sunfowers, sun-unfolden,
Now tell their stories olden
And sunwards turns each face,
Their flower bosoms heaving,
The winds the tall SEEMS cleaving,
Wide waves and hollows weaving
In undulating grace.
So rare each night, star-lighted,
When breeze and dew are plighted,
Dim dreams come, unaffrighted,
And all the soul is free.
Nights far too fair for sleeping,
Too fraUght of love for weeping,
Nights drenched with moon waves sweep
In a shimmering, pearl-white sea.
