The First of June.

Sweetly smiles the sunset, through darl
boughs golden cleaning,
Tenderly to westward, faint and ia,
away,
Up into the glory of the sky my hear
drifts dreaming,
Dreaming in earths wonder hour al
closing of the day.
Sadly weeps the sunset, as lost winds
wander weeping,
Weeping with the nightingales for the
morns of May,
Nav, whose fragrant loneliness in the
grave Is sleeping,
Sleeping in that heaven Of dead. sweet
things that cannot stay
Dead and gone the sunset. and, as night
Is falling
Faint with June's first sweetness, when
the lilacs sway,
Dim with far sweet memories, the voice
Of May il calling
Sadly to the twilight heart at closing
Of the day. H X.
