Such scented censor smoke-it weaves
Up from the burning autumn leaves
And trails away in ainaless style
While lazy breezes loiter ont
And though each wondrous golden while
OF all the summer time is gone
We do not sigh one who grieves
When drifts the scent Of burning leaves.
II is as cinnamon and musk
And mint and myrrh that scents the dusk,
And pungeant Glove. and nutmeg, too,
And allspice buds, all deftly blent
And intermingled through and through
With berries Of the orient
So do we stand and know all these
As echoes of our memories.
So does the smoke that drifts away
Bring back each singing summer day
And make Us see the wide, blue sky
With ivory clouds that slowly sail
Across the sea that is on high,
With soaring birds to give them hail
And forest shades and laughing streams
And all the wondrous stuff o dreams.
And as the smoke wreath lifts and veers
1t takes us down the path Of years,
Through other summers, other springs
Until we live again the days
That had been with forgotten things,
Until tread again the ways
Long since grown dim as is this dusk
Where drift the spice and mint and musk
Such scented censor smoke-it weaves
Up from the blazing autumn leaves
And yonder trees become tall spires
And streets become cathedral aisles
Illumed by fitfuI altar fires
That light our retrospective smiles
And through 1t all there glints and
