About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text, images, or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1903. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... Wfth which my heart seems strangely set in tune Here, where I gaze, I see the stubbled fields, The reddening forest, and the misty air-- All sights and sounds which make the soul alone. Day after day, the flying flocks go south, In living lines, which write along the sky The prophecy of winter's sure approach; I hear at night their voices o'er the roof, Mingled with whirring wings. On yonder plain The rustling maize, in many a bowing shock, Whispers to every passing breeze. Last night, Beneath the white moon, in the silent air, In jovial bands the huskers, flocking, came, And stripped the covers from the yellow ears, And left them glowing there in golden mounds. Oh, how the song, and jest, and laugh, went round! And when the crimson ear was found, the prize Was held in blazing splendour, like a torch, And all proclaimed a 'sweetheart, ' and rejoiced. I stood apart, and, as in days a-gone, Hearkened to hear thy voice among the rest; But there were none so happy or so clear, Or, as I fancied, half so musical. Within doors, through the busy afternoon, Till late at eve, the neighbouring dames and maids Found social pleasure round the spreading quilt, With rapid hands, till on the oft-rolled frame The latest puffy diamond-row was stitched. Then, when the gay and separate tasks were done, And noisy supper past, the room was cleared; When mirth, and music, and the mazy dance Keeled through the night till every rafter groaned, While swayed the floor beneath their gliding feet. I could not dance, and could not join the glee; Each smile I forced was half akin to tears; So clearly came the old times o'er my mind To-day the orchard yields its glowing fruits, Which tumble, widely, with a thunderous sound, Shaken from stormy boughs--a monster hail. And there the creak...
