INDIAN SUMNER.

In the mellow Indian summer
Lie the meadows calm and still,
Smiling as the peaceful plumber
When you settle up his bill.
Just about the middle distance
There's a mule devouring hay.
Doesn't seem TO want assistance.
So you'd better keep away.
Far above with wing that quickens
Floats a hawk with piercing eye,
While he scans the ground for chick
That the farmer wants to fry.
IL
In the thicket hides the rabbit
Shy as any startled fawn;
If you have the hunting habit
You can gamble he is on.
W
In the woods are reds and yellows
Blazing every way you turn.
Soon, | think, these farmer fellows
VIII have autumn leaves TO burn.
Rare and radiant Indian summer
On the blue hills far away,
Here or there. you are a hummer.
So we wish that you would stay.

He scared in the air with no appar-

and thus give the spectators every pos
