INDIAN SUMNER.

After the springtime sowing,
The restlessness Of growing,
The garnering and the reapins
Time pauses' and a hush
Stllleth the surge and rush
OF fevered life, for then
Dear Summer cometh creeping
Over her earth again.
On clover meadows stark and brown,
On fields to stubble lev eled down.
Her waving breath Is sw eeter
Than :he fragrance after rain:
Her touch, like mother fingers
After ecstasy Of pain.
But her passing-ah! It's fleeter
Than a smile in Sorrows eyes.
One mellow hour she fingers,
One tender June note tries,
Then leaves dream of Winter,
And softly, sleeping, dies.
