| | From “Journeys and Discoveries”
FOR that a great weariness has come upon me | |
| Here in the remaining day of summer— | |
| And the over-grown yard a stagnant mood, | |
| Under the boughs the apples rotting, | |
| And the fading grasses forgotten of cutting— | 5 |
| Suffer me to wag the tongue a little. | |
| |
| Even as leans on the fainting evening | |
| the foliage withering, | |
| I am touched with a song of brown and of shadows, | |
| And of colors lingering. | 10 |
| And I passed before a house of vines | |
| To hear a myriad of birds therein | |
| Crying, crying. | | | | |
|
