Refrain that once Fang long and clear
Same softly, stealing to the ear
Without the aid of sound. The riil
Is voiceless. and the grass Is sere,
But beauty's soul abdeth still
Trance-like, the mellow air doth hold
The sorrow of the passing years
The heart of nature groweth cold.
The time of falling snow is near.
On phantom feet, which None may hear,
Creeps-with the shadow Oh the hill
The semblance of departed cheer,
But beauty's soul abideth silt
The dead gray-clustered weeds enfold
The well-known summer path. and
drear
The dusking hills, like pillows rolled
Against the distant sky, appear
From lonely haunts, where Night and
Fear ~
Keep ghostly tryst. when mists are chill.
The dark pine liftssa jagged spear,

Dear love. the days that once were

May come no more; life may fulfill
Her fleeing dreams with many tear
But beauty's soul abideth still.
