Wearing the glory Of the autumn woods;
Beholding silver ships with precious things
blowing full sailed down streams to distan,

And glisten in the star sheen Of the night.
While blue smoke from my heartstone circles

To worlds above to mingle with the smoke
That mounts from fires that other men hay,

In spring days it shall be q place to erect

Of summer it shall be . place to dream.
In autumn it shall see the dying year
Expire in glory-snd shall still be young.
While in the winter it shall shelter me
Against the wind and rain and tho cold
weather.
On this high hilltop where the gods ara Kind
Here i shall build my house and my hearth

A place to keep the shEieking tempest ont
A place to keep and fortify love in
Foursquare to wind and weather and tn.
