Q September Night
So brooding, secret, huShed!
The scented branches l have brushed
Fall to, at left and right,
And are as though no more they could
be stirred.
No slightest sound is heard
Save there-the cricket in the grass
Breaks off his whirring lay
Until he hears ME safely pass.
Ireading my harmless way
AS though, september Night!
Your faithful lover-I-
Were but some daylight stranger and
base spy!
How have l such distrust incurred
That Silence is the word.
That some one watches-who?
Some one is watched :. answer me
you,
September Night.
What is this mystery in the haunted
In the pale heavens high noon
The honey -coIored moon
Within that Ring OF irised light
Regards with fear the one keen Star
That sits within that circle, too,
Sharp-eyed as watchful Argus when
He guarded 10; Idriven far
And changed from her true form,
LoVe-drawn out oil the world OF mortal
0 September Night,
There brews OF this rapt stiffness
storm.
And it shall be soon-soon!
Ere breaks the tempest in it's might ;.
\ score of hours shall scarce take
tight
Ely token of that one stars piercing
sight,
Guarding within her ring the honey
colored moon!
