When the frs frost brightly CLEANS
On the velvet Of the flowers
Ere they waken from their dreams,
And their petals. pink with blushing,
Are yet folded, in embrace
OF the pearl enamelled dewdrops,
Like the tears on some sad face.
In the brown October morning,
When the silences are sweet
With the music Of the waters,
"Where the brook and river meet"
And the moss with constant dripping
Echoes back in softer song
All the melody my pent up soul
Would utter the day long.
In the gray October morning,
When the dying grass Ii wet
