Autumn in the Garden,

When the frosty kiss of Autumn in the
dark
Makes its mark
On the flowers and the misty morning
grieves
over fallen leaves,
Then my olden garden, where the golden
Through the toll
OF hundred years is mellow, rich and
deep,
Whispers in its sleep.
Mid the crumpled beds of marigold and
Where the box
Borders with its glossy green the ancient
walks,
There's voice that talks
OF the human hopes that doomed and
withered here,
Year by year.
Dreams of joy, that frightened all the la
boring hours,
Fading as the flowers.
Yet the whispered story does not deepen
grief:
But relief
For the loneliness of sorrow seems to flow
From the Long-Ago,
When think of other lives that learned,
like mine.
To resign,
And remember that the sadness of the
Fall
Comes alike to all.
What regrets, what longings for the lost
were theirs!
And what prayers
For the silent strength that nerves us to
endure
Things we cannot cure
Pacing up and down the garden where
they paced
l have traced
All their wellworn paths of patience till
/ find
Comfort in my mind.
Faint and far away their ancient griefs
appear:
Yet how near
Is the tender voice, the care worn, kindly
face,
OF the human racel
Let us walk together in the garden, dear
est Heart
Not apart!
They who know the sorrows other lives
have known
Never walk alone.
