A little while afterward Dr.. Cook tried

Low clouds, the thunder veins and cleaves,
Torn from the forest Of the storm,
Sweep westward, like enormous leaves,
Ger field and farm.
And in the west. on burning skies,
Their wrath is quenched, their hate is hushed;
And deep their drifted darkness lies
With splendor flushed.
The black turns gray, the gray turns gold,
And. seaed in decps OF radiant rose,
SUBMITS OF glory manifold,
They now repose.
What dreams they bring. what thoughts reveal!
That have their source in loveliness,
Through which the doubts | often feel
Grow less and less;
Through which ] see that other night,
That cloud called Death, transformed Of Love
To fame, and pointing with its light
To life above.

CURRENT VERSE.
The yellow Of the Leaf.

inc HclHO" OI inc ACaAs
The falling leaf Is at the door;
The autumn wind is on the hill;
Footsteps have heard before
Loiter at my cabin sill.
Full Of crimson and OF gold
Is the morning in the leaves;
And a stiffness pure and cold
Hangs about the frosty caves.
The mysterious autumn haze
Steals across the blue ravine,
Like an Indian ghost that strays
Through his olden lost demenss.
Now the golden-rod invades
Every clearing in the hills;
The dry glow of August fades.
And the lonely cricket shrills.
Yes, by every trace and sign
The good rowing days are here.
Mountain peak and river line
Float the scarlet of the year.
Lovelier than ever now
Is the world I love so we'll.
Running water, waving Dough,
And the bright winds magic spell.
Rouse the faint Of migrant blood
With the fever of the road
Impulse Older than the food
Lurking in its last abode.
Did once pursue your way,
Little brothers Of the air,
Following tine veInai ray?
Did i learn my rowing theref
Was it on your long spring rides,
Little br0t h.rs Of tho sea
In the dim and peopled tides.
That l learned this vagrancyf
Now the yellow OF the leaf
Bids away by hill and plain,
shall say goodbye to grIci,
Wayfellow with joy again.
The glamour Of the open door
Is on me, ard would be gone
Speak with truth or speak no more,
House with beauty or with none.
Great and splendid, near and far,
Lies the province Of desire:
Love the only silver star
Its discoveries require.
shall lack nor tent nor food,
Nor companion in the way,
For the kindly solitude
Will provide for me today.
Few enough have been my needs;
Fewer now they are to be;
Where the faintest follow leads,
There is hearts content for me.
Leave the bread upon the board;
Leave the book beside the chair;
With the murmur OF the ford,
Light Of spirit shall fare.
Leave the latch string in the door,
And the pile Of logs to burn;
Others may be here before
/ have leisure to return.
