| Augustin S. Macdonald, comp. A Collection of Verse by California Poets. 1914. | | | | A Memory | | By Carolus Ager (Charles Kellogg Field) |
| | | OCTOBER fulness in field and flowers, | |
| The ebbing tide of the summer time | |
| In mellow music of days and hours | |
| That beat in rhythm and blend in rhyme; | |
| Leaves that tremble before their turning, | 5 |
| The green that fades and the gold that grows, | |
| A stifled brook, and a throb of yearning | |
| In all that changes for all that goes! | | | | |
