I Or. mayhap. a cricket chipping,
| Safely meath the doorstep hid.
| Now and then a slight commouon
or the dropping grass foreteils
That the fresh east wind Is coming.
In whose bosom healing dwells.
Brisker now, and yet more frequent.
Come the gusts, while here and there
Failing drops stir dusty LEAKAGE.
Hanging, listless. in the air.
Swifter, now, the rain descending,
Drifted by the quickened breeze,
Freshens up the thirsty upland
And the grateful. swaying trees.
And the kline In distant pasture
Seek the haystack's shelterlng lee,
While the ducklings In the puddle
Flick their tails and quack with glee.
o, the grateful, restful GOODNESS
or the early autumn rain
How 7 love TO feel It FLASHING
On my hands and face again
AS mount some rugged hilltop
Casting off restraint and care,
With the wind in frolic tossing
Round my head the dampened hair!
Vistas. then OF autumn glories
Rise before my spirits view
Visions rare OF fields empurpled
With wild asters ardent hue;
Visions OF the gold and scarlet
Blendef where the frost has lain,
And l breathe a Silent blessing
on the first October rain.
