THE LANTERNS OF ST. EULALlE.

In the October afternoon
Orange and purple and maroon
Goes quiet autumn, lamp in hand,
About the apple colored land
To light in every apple tree
The lanterns of st. Eulalie.
They glimmcr in the orchard shades
Like fiery opals set in jade
Crimson and russell and raw gold,
yellow and green and scarlet old.
And, Oh. when ! am far away,
By foAuing reef or azure bay,
:,
In crowded street or hot lagoon
Or under the strange auStral moon,
When the homc>ickness comes on me
For the great marshes by the sea,
The running dikcs, the hrimming tide
And the dark frs on Fundy side,
In dream once more | shall behold
Like spiral lights those globes Of gold,
Hung ont in every apple tree,
The lanterns OF ST. Eualic!
