XLVII. Summer's Obsequies

Оглавление

Table of Contents

The gentian weaves her fringes,

The maple's loom is red.

My departing blossoms

Obviate parade.


A brief, but patient illness,

An hour to prepare;

And one, below this morning,

Is where the angels are.


It was a short procession, —

The bobolink was there,

An aged bee addressed us,

And then we knelt in prayer.


We trust that she was willing, —

We ask that we may be.

Summer, sister, seraph,

Let us go with thee!


In the name of the bee

And of the butterfly

And of the breeze, amen!
