Explanation.

She thought it was the sunshine,
The buds and blossoming,
The birds, the bees. the fragrance,
And all the pomp Of spring,
That set her pulse to leaping,
Her heart TO throbbing fast.
She thought it was the springtime-
Until the spring was past
She thought it was the summer,
The langor that is June's,
The mornings fresh and dewy,
The dreamy afternoons
That flushed her cheek with feeling
And made her young blood thrill
Until the summer faded,
And she was happy still.
But when across the meadows
October lettering came,
To fill the land with shadows
And touch the leaves with flame,
She pressed her trembling fingers
Her throbbing heart above.
And turned with eyes clear shining
To meet the gaze of Love.

its simplicity, its sympathetic quality, and
its happy correspondence of sound to
sense, 1t is far in advance OF the usual
dialect poem of this kind. Most such
efforts are attempts either to express the
thoughts of a white man in negro dialect,
or to tell a story as the white man thinks
the negro would tell it. But this is as

The white magnolia opens with the day
To look upon a wonder-wOrld of bloom,
As if the rainbow met its earthly doom
Besides its namesake Iris, and must lay
Imprisoned bars of flame and blossom gay
Half hid beneath the olives mOurnful gloom.
The lick branches a shadow loom
Across the marbles where the fountains spray
Drips slow like cool and unsung melodies;
And through the grass the little lizards glide.
Dazed with the drowsy fragrance OF the trees;
And love and life lie sleeping side by side
For where still Eros lures the honey-bees. Z

Goes Dtiet Autumn, lamp in hand,
About the apple-colored land,
To light in every apple tree
The lanterns OF st. Eulalie.
They glimmer in the orchard shade
Like fiery opals set in jade
Crimson and russell and raw gold,
Yellow and green and scarlet old.
And. OF when | am far away
BY foaming reef or azure bay,
In crowded street or hot lagoon.
Or under the strange austral moon
When the homesickness comes on me
For the great Marshes by the sea.

In dream once more shall behold,
Like spiral lights tsse globes OF gold,
Hung out in every apple tree

Wind Of the Norland SHOWS,

Blow cold and keen across the naked hills,
And crisp the lowland pools with crystal Aims.
And blur the easement squares with gittering ice.
But go not near my love-,

Wind Of the few, far clouds,
Wind of the gold and crimson sunset lands
Blow fresh and pure across the peaks and plains,
And broaden the blue spaces Of the heavens.
And sway the grasses and the mountain pines,
But let my dear one rest.
Wind Of the East,
Wind of the sunrise seaa
Wind of the clingng mists and grey, harsh rains
BLOW moist and chill across the wastes of brine,
And shut the sun out, and the moon and stars,
And lash the boughs against the dripping caves,
Yet keep thou from my love.
But thou, sweet wind!

And Towering forests, come with dewy wings,
And stir the petals at her feet, and kiss
