IN AUGUST.

The echo of a whispered word,
A iieeting cadence low and sweet
Fresh as the songs the streams repeat
Faint as the Groom OF nesting bird.
A DEEPER azure in the sky,
Fields cleaning gay with green and gold,
Closed wings that droning half unfold,
AS summer passes slowly by.
A breath of sadness scarcely caught,
A minor note 20 swell the strain,
A blossom bowel by falling rain.
Gold strands with silver subtly wrought
O. rare unfathomed August days.
Rich with the glorles of the past,
What will you bring US forth at last.

And numbered Tyler with the dead.
Still may thy spirit flap its wings,
