MAINE GOSSIP
Woods In Summer

L.,
Before her challenge. bow their heads:
When Summer dries the country way
And paints the pink wild roses gray
With dusty pigments. reckoning
Near by, the woods remember Spring.
The Summers hot hands cannot break
The barricade that birches make;
Her sultry shoulders cannot push
Past maple clump and alder bush:
While twining tendrils weave screen
OF ferns she may not force between
To parch the chickadees that sing
The restful woods remember Spring.
Green MOSES cherish tender rain
That fell last week, and green vines
stain
Brown carpets olden Autumns left
'Twixt hemlock root, In boulder CLEFT;
Great green frogs glisten, sleek and
cool,
Beside a greenly quiet pool;
And ruthless Summer cannot bring
Regret-the woods remember Spring.
