Maine Gossip
Andante.

Your fingers sweep the keys, and then
BY river reach and iris fen
The long dead days come back again.
Smile on me once again, and SO
Watt me on music soft and low
Down the far fields of long ago.
Where lonely sunsets blow and fade
For one whose haunted heart has strayed
At evening to the upland glade.
Where he can hear the wild geese cry
Across the solitary sky,
And the cold sweeping winds go by
With broken words that laugh and weep,
Like some one troubled in his sleep
By visions of the calling deep.
Strange forest-girded lakes. whose moods
Lie hidden in far solitudes
Where no irreverent foot intrudeS;
Black tossing rapids. through whose roar
A vague great voice forevermore
Goes echOing from shore to shore;
All phases of that wilderness
Whose close communion used to bless
My boyhood in it's loneliness;
All these across my spirits ken
Sweep by on waves of sound, and then
A sharp sweet chord-they fade again.
The wandering ghosts have found their
tomb;
And here, within this Swallowed room,
Your gold hair glimmers through the
gloom.
