of the morning hangs reluctantly
in the east
The infinite presence is felt.
The subtle scheme of nature is
beginning to unfold. Plant life is
slowly dropping. Soon only gaunt
stalks will remain, the grim eVl-

Yet this seeming lull among the
living things of the garden and

The infinite presence can be
more keenIy observed at this sea-

instinct is felt in the plants and

Many will die when the first
frost comes, but they will have left
with an instructive mother love

plant life of the future.
