Further in Summer
than the Birds –
Pathetic from the
Grass –
A minor Nation
celebrates
It′s unobtrusive
Mass. 

No Ordinance
be seen –
So gradual
the Grace
A gentle Custom
it becomes –
Enlarging Loneliness –

￤

Antiquest felt
at Noon –
When August
burning low
Arise this spec-
tral Canticle
Repose to typify –

 

Remit as yet
no Grace –
No furrow on
the Glow,
But a Druidic
Difference
Enhances Nature
now –

Brother and Sister’s 

↪  Emily, with love –
