By Carolus Ager (Charles Kellogg Field)A Memory
O
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,
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!
