DAYS LIKE THESE.

! like the tangled brakes and brfers
The hazy smoke or forest fires;
The misty hills sott robe of brown.
The ravished fields regretful frown;
This wrinkled roads unconscious snare.
The free. unbreathed and fragrant air.
I like the wide, unworried sky,
The resting winds contented sigh;
The rustic OF the vagrant leaves,
The whisper of the standing sheaves;
The birds lament for summer lost,
The stinging challenge OF the frost.
The sturdy life OF staIwert trees
Thrills IN my veins on days like these
